Explanation:
The transfer of tribal land to private parties for mining can be declared null and void under the Fifth Schedule of the Constitution of India. The Fifth Schedule specifically provides for the administration and control of scheduled areas and scheduled tribes. It aims to protect the rights and interests of tribal communities and prevent the alienation of tribal land. Any transfer of tribal land in violation of the provisions of the Fifth Schedule can be deemed invalid by the appropriate authorities.
