A family inherited land purchased in 1967. The property, an empty plot, was paid taxes on until 2015 and later acquired by a government college in 2018-19. The family is seeking advice on how to claim compensation from the college. They are informed that compensation is typically based on government rates, specifically the average market value over the last three years. It's also noted that the college cannot simply acquire land; a formal process involving notices and an award by a Collector or Land Acquisition Officer must be followed. If this process wasn't adhered to, it could be considered an encroachment.
