How I can file writ petition for Scheduled tribe for land acquisition and no compensation paid by the HMA? Is it free for ST category?

Which legal provisions will apply here will depend upon the Law under which the land was acquired.

If the land was acquired under the The Right to Fair Compensation and Transparency in Land Acquisition, Rehabilitation and Resettlement Act, 2013 (LARR Act), then you have the following options:
1) Section 31 of the LARR Act: You are entitled to compensation under Section 31 of the LARR Act. This compensation could include not only money but also alternative housing or land to be provided. Further, under Section 31(k), there can be Special Provisions for those belonging to Scheduled Tribes.
2) Section 41 of the LARR Act: As far as possible, no acquisition of land should be made in areas inhabited by Scheduled Tribes. If acquisition is to take place, it should be proved that it is the last resort. If acquisition is to be made, there must be the consent of the Gram Sabha or Panchayat or Autonomous District Council. Further, any acquisition of Tribal land, if made in violation of the law, will be invalid. If you are relocated outside of the district, then you will get an additional 25% compensation. You will also be entitled to Rs. 50,000 as a one-time payment.
3) You can file a complaint under Section 64 of the LARR Act to the Land Acquisition, Rehabilitation, and Resettlement Authority established by the State Government. In case you are unhappy with the decision of the authority, you can appeal to the High Court under Section 74 of the LARR Act.

Even if it was acquired under some other act, you can use the Recognition of Forest Rights Act of 2006. Under Section 4 of this Act, you cannot be resettled unless the adequate resettlement plan has been provided for.

If you want to file a writ petition, you can use Article 226 of the Constitution. You can ask the High Court to enforce your rights under Article 14 (Equality before Law) and Article 300-A (Persons not to be deprived of property save by authority of law) of the Constitution of India.

As to the fees, different High Courts charge different amounts for filing writ petitions. You can find the amount that your High Court charges here: https://nyaaya.org/legal-explainer/payment-for-filing-writ-petitions/
However, courts have the power to remove the fees in cases of those who cannot afford the fees. If you belong to the Scheduled Tribes and cannot afford the court fees, you may apply for a fee waiver by submitting an application along with your writ petition, explaining your financial situation and requesting the waiver.

Further, you are entitled to free legal services from the Legal Services Authorities (such as NALSA) under the Legal Services Authorities Act of 1987. Under Section 12 of this Act, people belonging to Scheduled Tribes will get Free Legal Services.

The Legal Services Authorities of the country have made Special Provisions for People belonging to Scheduled Tribes under the NALSA (Protection and Enforcement of Tribal Rights) Scheme, 2015. You can also take benefit of this scheme.

I transferred from Kolkata office and joined Silchar office on 04-07-2019. By joining here I applied for double house rent under special facilities for North East region and the office accepted my request and started giving me that facility from July,2019. After three months I submitted my transfer TA bill. There was a careless mistake from my side. Inadvertently I claim full transfer T.A. of my family members. I made a mistake inadvertently and my office got an opportunity to correct that mistake but they also did not make any corresponding correction. The office could have pointed out my mistake and rejected the claim. Since the office is already drawing my Double HRA before that claim i.e from my date of joining. But office passed the claim. So I was totally unaware of this mistake so I couldn’t rectify it. Then the audit report reflect this official error in 2021 they say when family transfer TA is drawn then I am not eligible to get double house rent allowance and still the office did not draw my attention to this matter in next one year.
I personally inform the office on 08-08-2022 that I want to deposit all the transfer TA drawn for my family along with penal interest in the office and then I deposit a check of Rs. 57000/-(approx)with that letter. But this office does not give any importance to my words and does not give me any reply. But from last August 2022 suddenly my double house rent allowance stopped. Now they are again informing that recovery from my salary will be done if I don’t deposit the double house rent allowance which I received at silchar office.

ஒரு அரசு அதிகாரி தனது அதிகாரத்தை பயன்படுத்தி எனது வீட்டுக்கு முன் பகுதியில் உள்ள நடைபாதையை பட்டா செய்து கொண்டு இருந்ததை பரிசீலனை செய்து சார் ஆட்சியர் அவர்கள் அந்த நபரின் பட்டாவை முறையாக விசாரணை செய்து ரத்து செய்து விட்டார்கள். தற்போது அந்த நபர் ஏற்கனவே வேறொரு 3 வது நபருக்கு விற்பனை செய்து விட்டார்கள். ஆகையால் வாங்கிய நபர் எங்கள் மீது கீழ் கோர்ட்டில் வழக்கு பதிவு செய்துள்ளார். ஆனால் என்னிடம் அந்த இடத்தின் பட்டாவை ரத்து செய்த அரசு ஆணை உள்ளது.இதை கொண்டு இந்த வழக்கை எப்படி கையால்வது என ஆலோசனை வேண்டும்.

Hi!!
I have purchased a property through e auction under SARFAESI act. At the time registration, I came to know that registration can not be done as the property had a court attachment. Third party, who lend money to the owner filed a suit against owner of the property and did not included the bank as a party. Concerned authorized officer from bank did not informed about the hurdle in registration. Bank personnel saying it would take some time to register the property. Please tell me how to get the property registered?
