A family’s ancestral land was acquired by a government agency (CIT based on a supposedly gifted title from an unregistered owner, the daughter-in-law. The original registered owner wasn’t informed by the agency about the acquisition. The family, now holding the land, found out the gift deed was forged and challenged it in court. Can they now approach the High Court to overturn the land acquisition?

Yes, the family can approach the High Court to overturn the land acquisition. The High Court can intervene if the land acquisition was based on a forged document and the original registered owner was not informed. They can challenge the acquisition on grounds of fraud and lack of due process.
