Adverse Possession Insights in India
A person who has invested their hard-earned money in buying a property is at constant risk of losing it through some dispute or scam. With the help of the doctrine of adverse possession, any person can claim ownership of your property after a certain time frame without even buying it. The concept of adverse possession is based on the idea that land must not be left vacant and be put to judicious use. It can also be described as a method of hostile or unfriendly possession of property.
Though the legislation has not enacted any particular act or law in relation to adverse possession, there are a few provisions of the limitation act which govern the principle of adverse possession. According to the limitation act, if you as a property owner fail to make a claim towards your property for twelve years, then the ownership rights of your property will be transferred to the person occupying it, even without a valid title. In other words, if the real owner of the property does not file the recovery suit for possession within a stipulated time then it shall be considered that the property belongs to the person claiming adverse possession.
