Re: unlawful acquisition of land

You can file a Petition in the court of District Judge under Section 18 of the Land Acquisition Act for claiming compensation at the rate you want. But, as regards the rate, you would have to convince the court, by leading evidence, that the rate of land on the day the notificaion under Section 4 was issued was 'x' amount. Then the court may grant said rate to you. There are numerous judgments related to Land Acquisition. you may search these on supreme court website.

You may want to refer to a good work on the Land Acquisition Act and more particularly refer to judgements under Section 23 of the Act.
