You can issue a legal notice to them demanding compensation for acquiring your land failing which to evict them from the occupied portion of the property.
After that you can approach land acquisition special court for relief and remedy.

It is a fact that the farmers may not have any records to establish their rights, but since they are paying the crop revenue tax on their names, that can be used as an evidence to establish their rights.
You can consult a local lawyer and proceed on the practical advise

Had it been so, the pipeline authorities would hv paid them compensation on its basis..but they went for rightful ownership

The farmers cannot make any claim for compensation as a right if they don't have any documentary evidence to prove their title or interest in the property acquired by authorities.
