Quick Summary

If the government claims ownership of private land you've legally purchased, asserting prior acquisition without evidence, you have legal recourse. It's advisable to first request official documentation from the District Collector. Depending on the evidence, you can file a declaratory suit, potentially combined with specific relief, or a writ petition to challenge the acquisition process and claim compensation.

First, you request the District Collector concerned about the land, which was said to be acquired and after obtaining the information, take necessary action as per the information given by the District Collector.

You can file a writ petition seeking to set aside the land acquisition which was done without following the due process of law and also seek for compensation

If the first purchaser has registered the sale deed, and government claims ownership, ask the District Collector to demonstrate the title of the government, and if there is no such title of ownership of the government, you can file declaratory suit with mandatory injunction against the claims of the government.Yes, you can also file writ petition, but in disputed facts, I would prefer suits first.
