Article 244 of CoI : Article 244: Administration of Scheduled Areas and Tribal Areas.

Explanation using Example

Example 1:

Ravi is a member of a Scheduled Tribe living in a village within a Scheduled Area in the state of Madhya Pradesh. The local government wants to build a dam that will displace Ravi's village. According to the provisions of the Fifth Schedule, the government must consult the Tribal Advisory Council before making any decisions that affect the Scheduled Tribes. The council, which includes representatives from the Scheduled Tribes, reviews the proposal and suggests alternative solutions to minimize displacement and ensure fair compensation for the affected families.

Example 2:

Meera lives in a tribal area in the state of Meghalaya. The state government plans to introduce a new law that affects land ownership in her village. According to the provisions of the Sixth Schedule, the District Council, which has the authority to make laws on land, forest, and water resources in tribal areas, must first approve the new law. The District Council, composed of elected representatives from the tribal communities, reviews the proposed law and makes amendments to protect the traditional land rights of the tribal people before giving its approval.
