This query is : Resolved
Land being purchased by private party with lawful process , Government claim the land has been acquired before the current owner has purchased the property with no evidences of prior land acquisitions and any legal proof from govt .
Should I file suit for declaration or It needs be managed under writ ?
If suit can we file Suit for declaration and specific relief act together in one suit ?

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.
