Yes, without giving an opportunity to claim on award amount the government can not acquire the land.

So you can file the presentation in the Land Acquisition authority and then file the writ petition in the high court..

you can make a representation to the competent authority with documentary evidences supporting your claim for compensation for acquisition of your land.

Please be informed that you make proper representation to the authorities with relevant information and papers so that your claim is not rejected and despite that if the authority is rejected the claim you can approach LA court in your jurisdiction..

Hi

Ignorance of law is not excuse.

Your claim is hopelessly barred by limitation.

However, you can take a chance by filing Writ Petition before High Court praying to condone the delay caused in filing the same from the date of knowledge.

Delay needs to be explained properly and convince the court that, the same is wantonly done.

Local lawyer can help you in filing the case.

You can but first file claim application before the competent authority with all the ownership documents such a Khasra, khatauni having your name in the column no.1 as owner then wait what they say if they denied then you have to file a case before the Commissioner of your area then comes the Hon'ble High Court against these orders if they goes negative in my opinion this should not happen if persuaded in true spirit.

Sir,

     Yes you can approach high court for this.

     Ask your lawyer to file section 5 application of delay with valid reason.

Acquisition without due procedure followed is illegal. Govt. Can't Take Possession Of Private Land of Citizens Without Acquisition Or Giving Any Compensation to Them.

File writ in HC.

Before approaching high court for relief, you may exhaust the remedies available with the authorities concerned.

You may approach them seeking proper compensation for the land acquired, if you dont get a fruitful reply or no  proper response then you may approach high court with a writ petition seeking the relief.
