Our lands belonging to different individuals were encroached by AAI in 1962. we approached ministry officials and even aviation minister for the payment. As no result, we filed suit in The High court and The Honourable Court advised the state Government to legalise . Then in 2001, through notification ,RDO agreed to pay Rs 6.50 /sqft with out consulting us. He considered the value of sale of land about 6.5 KM away.. After collecting the first installment ,under protest, we not received the balance amount for 2-3 years. We approached High Court again ,for the balance amount and got it delayed.
In The Lower court we fought and we won the case. court ordered to pay Rs 100/sqft and interest and solatium etc We agreed that even though lGuide line value was more than that. Then after crossing the allowed time to file counter , RDO of another area filed the petition in High Court telling that ,he was not aware of the case and so hence condone the delay of payment.( Earlier the case was in one court and then the case was shifted to another court.). when collector , RDO 0f first court area ,sub collector all aware of this shifting ,how RDO of new area can argue that he is not aware. It is sure that when files were shifted RDO o the previous /collector has informed him, Meanwhile, High court wanted to pay the part of amount deposited with court ,but objected. So the court ordered to pay 70% . and to deposit the balance 30% in FD for TWO Years
. Means we can not get justice now. We are all aged ,some have passed away , One Retired High court Judge is also part of Group.. What is your advise? Can we send complaint to CJI so that he may consider our letter for PLI, We are waiting for the justice from 1962 ie 60 YEARS

The facts posted are too disjointed and less than convincing. There is a well laid down procedure for land acquisition. Please verify the records and post correct facts.
