My family, descendants of a Nawab lineage, have a longstanding claim related to land in Amir Mahal. My grandfather, who owned 400 acres during British rule, was promised a pension in exchange for handing over the land. My mother received the pension until the 1990s. Now, I seek to reclaim at least 30 acres and a home in Amir Mahal. Our family, tracing our lineage back 33 generations, believes we have a strong claim. Could you advise me on the legal process for filing this case?

You can pursue a claim based on adverse possession or a claim for specific performance of the agreement with the British government. However, establishing the agreement and your family’s lineage, along with the legal status of the land after Indian independence, will require extensive evidence and expert legal guidance. You should consult a lawyer specializing in land and property law to discuss your specific situation and available legal options.
