Government by suo-moto cannot remove u from the possession, as u are staying for last 15 years, to establish ur adverse possession you have to establish by proper legal documents, title deed etc.

sorry, to claim adverse possession against the government one must prove continuous possession for more than 30 years and not 12 years as in general against private parties. for proving adverse possession u need not have title deeds but only documents shoeing ur possession for the above period.

rama ji,
First you tell me whether the land you said to bein occupation is of any private party or of any government. If it is any private party you will stand on an better footing if you prove that you are in possession since 15 years and you can claim as adverse possession against its real owner if your possession is to his knowledge and if he did not take any recourse. and if you donot have any proof you have no case you willbe treated as an land grabber. and if it is govt land then you have to prove 30 years of possession then only you will get title by possession and that too adverse possession against the government.

I agree with Mehbub Sir.. To claim adverse possession against Government, one has to prove his occupancy of the property for 30 years

Dear mr Mehboob
may i explain the funda of 30 and 12 year?
A right by adverse possession is created after passing 20 years against a private person and after 30 years against the Government.
A person tracepasser can be dispossessed forcebly and without taking and recourse or help of court up to 12 years and after that it can be done only by due course of law.
