Dear client,
I'm sorry to hear about the situation you are facing. Here are some possible courses of action you could consider:
Verify the authenticity of the caste certificate: You can request the authorities to provide a copy of the caste certificate produced by Saleem, and verify its authenticity. You could also check the authenticity of the certificate with the issuing authority. If it is found to be fake or invalid, it could help your case.
Seek legal assistance: It is advisable to seek legal assistance from a lawyer who is experienced in property and land disputes. They can help you with the legal process of claiming compensation for the land taken by PWD, and also guide you on how to deal with the issue of Mahender's caste status and Saleem's complaint.
File a complaint against PWD: If PWD has demolished your house without giving compensation, you could file a complaint against them for wrongful demolition and seek compensation for the damages caused.
Contact the state government: You could also approach the state government and bring to their attention the issue of the land purchase without permission, and request them to intervene and help resolve the matter.
Negotiate with Saleem: If Saleem is the person who has complained about Mahender's caste status, you could try to negotiate with him and try to arrive at a mutually acceptable solution.
It is important to gather all relevant documents and evidence related to your purchase of the land, the demolition of your house, and the complaint against Mahender's caste status. This will help you build a strong case and increase your chances of success in claiming compensation for the land taken by PWD
