Can the applicant file a suit in a court for recovering the damages time elapse 26 yr

The time taken for getting the status of action taken on the application made by claimant to a public authority, who sells and develops plot of land for residential and commercial purposes is more than 20 years. The applicant had been making regular efforts during this long tenure by writing, sending reminders, meetings with having trust and faith in the public body. They had not been giving written reply to the applications, letters but verbal assurances were always given to resolve the issues. Now with the help of Right to information Act (recently enacted in our country), the status is known and it is surprising and caused financial loss. Can the applicant file a suit in a court for recovering the damages which were caused due to misrepresentation of facts (evidence is available) by the defendant. They had forefieted the part money deposited along with the application in the year 1000.00. Total time elapsed from the date of the incident is 26 years.
