Legal Question in Civil Rights Law in India

I have purchased a piece of land measuring 0.32 Acre in 1970 thro' a registered sale deed in municipal area of a district town of Jharkhand state. The vendor was Schedule Caste. We had not taken the permission of D.C. , since registering authority said that it is no longer neccessary now in the case of a schedule caste vendor as per the judgement passed by Hon'ble Patna High Court in 1966. Now the heir of the vendor is claiming and trying to take possesion of the land with the help of naxal elements and theatening us to leave/vacate the land. He is claiming on the ground that it belong to Schedule caste and also by saying that My father had sold without my consent. Even revenue authority and police is supporting his ground. I have consulted various local lawyers, they too are telling that I will loose the case, better forget the land. Is permission of a D.C. is so necessary. Can He claim after 38 years of registery, He was an adult of around 30yrs when father sold the land. What should I do now.

Search for 1966 Judgment of Patna High Court - If legal position then favours you, then you would be able to fight the case effectively.
