go and check the revenue records, your grandfather name in case mentioned therein... tehsildar would know the details... in case the land was acquired under land acqusition act, now u can challenge the same as the objections have to be filed within a fixed period by way of reference under the Land acquistion act but yes you can get your compensation for taking away the land....

Which taluka and village pl.,when did you come to know of this ? You may get copy of VF VI i.e.Hakk Patrak, VF VII-XII i.e. cultivation inf. It is better that first you may obtain Hakk Patrak showing name of your grand father and subsequent Hakk Patrak showing the land confiscated by the govt.I could guess that since you are talking about your grand father,when Inam Abolition Act came into force in 1957,at that time if the land remained uncultivated for three years prior to 57,the land was declared govt.land under sec.10 of that Act.
