Compensation for land acquired by railways

My grandfather did not receive compensation for the land acquired by railways. Being legal heir Can I apply for compensation ? What is the procedure ? Is there time limit for claiming the compensation ? Please guide in this regard

It clarifies that direct legal heirs of the deceased landowner are generally the ones eligible to claim. The complexity of such cases and the need for professional legal advice, considering specific details like the acquisition date and previous legal actions, are highlighted.

Your grandfather did not receive it, so why did his children not claim it? Now, you can not claim it.

You are not the direct legal heir to your deceased grandfather, if at all your grandfather died even before getting the compensation then his own legal heirs can claim the same and not a third generation person.

Multiple issues are involved in acquisition of land owned by your grandfather. It is appropriate to consult a local prudent lawyer with relevant records for proper analyses, professional advise and necessary proceeding.

Yes, there could be no meaningful suggestion unless the complete facts are posted.

When did the acquisition take place?

Did your father receive the statutorynotices?

What was the award?

Why he was denied compensation?

What remedies did the grandfather and/or legal heirs have intiated?

If yes, what is their present status?
