If this is family land, then it is not legal. By law, all land owners must have a say in whether their land is sold or not. For example if A wants to sell the one acre that was left by his parents to him and his siblings B,C and D, he must consult them all and get their permission to sell since they are all joint land owners.
There is also land which a parent cannot sell unless he/she provides alternative land that the children can use as their residence. This property is known as a residential holding. This must be land where the family primarily lives. This is different from a property that the family has for commercial reasons such as rentals or a guesthouse.
On the other hand, if A’s land is not either owned jointly with other family members, or is not a residential holding, A does not need permission from his other family members to sell his land.
However if A is married to W, and this property is the one where the two of them reside as their home, then he will still need W’s permission to sell the property since that land has in law become matrimonial property.
