Inam land sold without orc 4 decades ago. can it be disputed?

I recently bought a villa in a RERA-approved gated community in Hyderabad/Telangana. Unfortunately, I just discovered that the land was Inam land earlier and it was sold without obtaining the necessary ORC 40 years ago. The subsequent owners have somehow obtained ORC. Later, the current developer developed the gated community on this land with all necessary approvals. 

Can my villa still be subjected to litigation by the descendants of the original seller?

Inam land cannot be sold.

Show relevant documents of the land to a local prudent lawyer for better appreciation of facts and professional advise.

Thank you, Dr Vashista,

As per Telangana Inam Act 1955, inam lands have been abolished; ORCs have to be obtained for all Inam lands at the time. After which, they can be sold. 

In my case, the erstwhile owner of the land had not obtained ORC

Thank you, Mr. Rachakonda.

There are no ongoing legal disputes no history of litigations. I just discovered this flaw which occured 40 years ago. My question is whether there is a risk of litigations in future? Is the limitations Act 1963 applicable here

No not at all.

Ok.

You mean the descendents of the original seller have no claim to the land now even if the land was obtained by fraud or by force by the buyer 40 years ago?

It appears taht there are no claims made by anyone so far and it is also found that the subsequent buyers have already obtained ORC in this connection.

Hence you do not do anything to provoke or waking up the sleeping people
