of Adverse Possession mean that a trespasser or a stranger who comes into possession of the land must be in exclusive and continuous possession and without interruption for a certain period of time typically 12 to 30 consecutive years depending upon the classification of ownership (i.e, Private or or Government) of the land.
That the statute of Limitations is intended to give true owners ample time to check on and protect their property from another‟s adverse claim. If the true owners fail to do that for a protracted period, he is bound to loose the land.
If the property belongs to government then the limitation period to operate the Concept of Doctrine of Adverse Possession would be 30 years.
You may consult a local lawyer with all relevant papers and proceed as suggested
