Can we acquire rights on the land we purchased ?
Respected Sir / Madam
Under the madras presidency : In 1928 , the
governement had covered some portion of
the pond in our village and constructed a
governement : school , hospital & other
government offices . After constructing these
the remaining land was alloted to the landless
labourers for the house sites . Government
alloted nearly 20 plots to poor people . Since then
those plots are being sold and purchased by
many people .
Without having knowledge of that , we
have purchased a land ( 2.5 cents ) on
[ [deleted] ] through a registered sale deed .
Then after we have constructed a house ,
since then we are residing in that land by paying
respective water bill , electicity bill & other taxes to
the grama panchayat . Recently , we came to
know that : the land which we purchased in
2011 was the land alloted to poor people
in 1928 of which some portion of the village
pond was covered through the governement
order . we are afraid of knowing this . We need your
advice - Please be kind upon us by replying your
valuable suggestion .
