Brief background :- I am a government officer dealing with the land cases in the department of Defence. Normally when the government acquires the land, it is done by the process of Publication of Preliminary Notification, Publication of Declaration and Summary Of Rehabilitation And Resettlement under The Right To Fair Compensation And Transparency In Land Acquisition, Rehabilitation And Resettlement Act 2013 (LARR ACT 2013) or erstwhile Land Acquisition Act, 1894.. Similarly Requisitioned, Acquisition Of Immovable Property Act ( RAIP Act 1952) also deals with compensation and rental. The compensation is awarded by the collector. Ihere were two brothers A and B who had joint ownership on the land which was acquired by defence. Over a period of time both the brothers passed away. Both the brothers A and B have 3 to 4 successors from their respective families i.e (Sons and Daughters) who are claiming that they did not receive the compensation/rent from the government over a period of time. Though my department does not directly deal with compensation/rent, it is the office of collector which is involved in compensation and rental. However on receiving the representation from the claimants, I have guided them in reply to their representation that they should obtain necessary Letter of Probate/Administration as the case may be under the Indian Succession Act.
Query No1 -To establish heirship or check the actual claimant, is it okay to ask the Letter of Probate/Administration in view of the provisions of section 220(Effect of Letter of Administration) and section 273 (Conclusiveness of Probate or letter of administration of Indian succession act, 1925) especially when Probate or Letter of Administration within the meaning of provisions of section 273 shall have effect over all the property and estate, movable and immovable, of the deceased throughout the state in which the same is or are granted and shall be conclusive as to the representative title against all debtors of the deceased. Is it that I should have guided them to obtain a succession certificate under Part X of Indian succession act in view of the provisions of section 374 dealing with contents of the certificate which deals with the debt and securities, receipt of interest or dividends. The said succession certificate does not mention anything about movable or immovable property. It only mentions about securities. In view of the the nature of the subject ( that is immovable property a piece of land) obtaining of letter of probate or Administration or succession certificate would suffice or succession certificate meets the requirement for their respective claims to the land pieces of the deceased.
Query number2- Under the provisions of Indian succession act the grant of letter of probate or Administration or succession certificate is given by District Judge based on his jurisdiction. One of the claimants mentioned that they have obtained a certificate of heirship from Judicial Magistrate First-Class. I have my serious doubts over the same. If there are statutory provisions where in only District Judge can give the said certificates, how can Judicial Magistrate First-Class can give the same? Since the role of the two differ. The district magistrate is a civil court which deals with civil matters and the Judicial Magistrate First-Class is a criminal Court. Is it possible? Though, I believe in government of Maharashtra, as I saw it on one of the website that is for late registration of births and deaths, the application along with the affidavit has to be given to Judicial Magistrate First-Class.

Dear Experts, I am associated with a construction company in Mumbai since last 2 yrs and 6 months. I was paid initially for a period of 4 months only but after that they never paid my salaries and kept giving me assurance that they shall pay me in lump sum very soon. But unfortunately, I'm still waiting till now.
I need to file a lawsuit against them but I'm not having any idea as to
(1) What will be the consequences?
(2) How and where shall I do it?
(3) I'm from M.P but the employer and the firm are from Maharashtra
(4) How much is it going to cost?
(5) How much time will it take? &
(6) Will I be getting additional compensation as I have suffered a lot mentally, economically and socially.
Kindly suggest!!!!
