My father’s inam land was converted to raithawari patta after the 1963 inam abolition act. Since then, some of this land was taken over by the forest and revenue departments. I’m unsure about the exact amount of land taken over or what constitutes one-fifth of the total. Can I receive compensation for the land lost?

You may be entitled to compensation for the land taken over by the forest and revenue departments, provided the land was acquired for public purposes. The 1963 Inamdari Abolition Act likely laid out the process for such compensation, and you can approach the relevant government department with your claim, seeking clarification on the land area and compensation details.
