Under which Schedule of the Constitution of India can the transfer of tribal land to private parties for mining be declared null and void?

The Fifth Schedule of the Constitution deals with the administration and control of Scheduled Areas and Scheduled Tribes in states other than Assam, Meghalaya, Tripura, and Mizoram.

It empowers the Governor to prohibit or restrict the transfer of land by members of the Scheduled Tribes in such areas. Therefore, the transfer of tribal land to private parties for mining can be declared null and void under the Fifth Schedule.

Hence, option B is the correct answer.
