Dear Sir,

You are fully entitled for the compensation. Just file a representation and then move High Court for a direction to pay the compensation. For any other it is not being paid then offer to execute Indemnity Bond and also offer to give sufficient guarantee. Thus at any cost compensation will be paid on some conditions if there is any loophole on your side. Nothing to bother.

If they have not paid you compensation as per section 24 its clear that if no payment is made then you will be entitled to compensation as per new act. Regarding 7/12 it is for payment of property taxes. And you are eligible for claiming compensation as per new act.

See if you're covered under section 24(2) of the new Land Acquisition Act.

If yes, you may get these acquisition proceedings deemed lapsed with respect to your parcel of land.

Contact a local land acquisition lawyer.

If you have not accepted the compensation, make sure that they have not deposited the same in a court of law.

You can very well seek enhancement on the basis of latest land acquisition law.

OK but still paper not cleared 7/12 is not change it is totally on my name.

Name transfer in the revenue records is not a big issue, they can get it transferred overnight by putting pressure through top level officials.
