This query is : Resolved
I need assistance in understanding kul kayda.
I have inherited land in Pune as kul. My grand parents and my family members names are recorded on 7/12 with pencil !!!? The owner had made my grad father kul until the sun and moon exist and died without an heir. For last 60 yrs a so called cousin has failed to prove his relation and that he is heir as there is no will. The land is now in municipal limits hence we couldn't become owner due to a fault of our lawyer who didn't request in past.
Query1. When there is no heir are we now the owner as the land is in our possession for last 60 yrs.
2 if not how to become owner
3. The land is currently used for agriculture can we change the use for building house or other commercial purpose if so how.
4. The other party has secretly and illegally managed to get a letter from a minister to add there name as owner on the land. The letter is with tehsildar. What should we do

Prima facie this is an academic and vague query.
Consult a local lawyer.

If the land is in your possession for the past 60 years or more, you may be having evidence for possessing it with that you file for allotment of the land on your name on the same basis before the Revenue department and get the property on your name and also transfer all the revenue records too on your name,if the authorities refuse file a declaratory suit before the civil court seeking to declare the title on your name on the basis of adverse possession. If your lawyer is not capable of handling the issue, you may change him and engage a better lawyer.
