My land was acquired in 1987. The Collector awarded compensation under Section 11, but I protested and appealed to the Reference Court. They increased the compensation. The government challenged this in the High Court, but the court upheld the increase in 2012. However, the enhanced amount is still unpaid. Can I argue that since I objected to the initial payment under Section 11, it was never fully paid and my case should be considered lapsed under the new Land Acquisition Act of 2013?

No, the new Land Acquisition Act of 2013 does not apply retrospectively to acquisitions that occurred before its enactment. Since your land was acquired in 1987, the 2013 Act is not relevant to your case. You can still seek enforcement of the High Court order from 2012 regarding the enhanced compensation.

My father inherited this property from his father in 1980 through a will and probate. He’s still alive. My questions are: 1. Can my elder brother challenge the Gift Deed, claiming I forced my father into it? 2. Can he argue that the house is ancestral property, so my father couldn’t gift it without his consent? 3. Can my brother seek a court order to stop me from possessing the house?

I’m now back in India and want to sell the property. Should I sell it directly as the owner, or through my mother since the GPA is still active? Would selling without cancelling the GPA be legally valid? Is there any specific affidavit I need? Or, would my mother signing as a witness during the sale be enough to validate the transaction?
