Admitting one more person in the ownership of land

There is a small piece of land in Chembur which is fully encroached. The owner had found  few years back that the land had been fraudulently transferred to some unknown person. The owner had lodged a police complaint which was closed with the reason that the accused is UNTRACEBLE.  Can this owner admit one of his friends to the ownership of the land by executing stamped document and registering with the appropriate authorities. Does this amount to gifting the part ownership and does this involve any payment to the government as Stamp Duty. IF so, how much. As on date the land though in the name of the owner and fraudulently sale deed executed  is fully encroached and the monetary value is nil till any value is realised. Esteemed members are requested to guide.

The easiest way to prove your ownership of a house is with a title deed or grant deed that has your name on it. Deeds typically are filed in the recorder's office of the county where the property is located.

My query was
