The Adivasi activist C. K. Janu believe that Adiviasi can also use this 1989 Act to fight against dispossesion because this acts guarantees the tribals not to be dispossessed from the land resources forcibly. Thus, they can use this Act since it seems to punish anyone who wrongfully occupies or cultivates any land owned by or allotted to a member of a scheduled castes or a scheduled tribe or gets the land allotted to him transferred.
