Dear Client,
The possession of property is also considered a determinative factor in claiming ownership of any property. Article 65 of the Limitation Act, 1963 provides a time limit of 12 years for a suit for possession of immovable property or any other interest on the grounds of title by the owner or his/her legal heirs and that term shall begin from the point at which the possession of the defendant becomes adverse to the Plaintiff. So, if the claim for possession is not filed within the prescribed limitation period, then the right of the owner based on the title shall be extinguished and the person who has possession of the immovable property shall become the owner based on the theory/doctrine of adverse possession. So, given the proposition of the relevant laws, you may consult or seek legal advice from an expert professional who can provide you with tailored advice in this regard based on the merit of your case.
