It is difficult to reply on facts of a case without actually seeing the detailed documents.
But, generally speaking, if you do not have any rights in the land, then you may not be in a position to sell it. However, if suppose dispute is still going on in the land acquisition and the acquisition process is still not completed, then I think it may be possible to transfer whatever limited right you have in the land (subject to the outcome of the dispute). In such a case, your agreement should correctly and transparently mention all the relevant details of acquisition and the present status of your rights over the land, and the present status of the dispute. It should also be clearly and transparently mentioned that what is being transferred is the limited right that you have in the land. Do not state any incorrect facts. Do not conceal any information. Do not back-date the agreement. However, as I mentioned above, it is difficult to give an accurate opinion without actually seeing the detailed documents. Therefore, please be aware that the above opinion may not be correct. For getting the legally correct opinion, you should consult some good lawyer by showing him all the relevant records / documents.
