Adverse possession law in India is the concept of property possession by an individual who is not the original owner but remains in possession of property for 12 years. Such a possessor resides in the property with the knowledge but without the permission or interference of the owner. 

Adverse possession of land under Article 65 - Schedule 1 of the Limitation Act says the rights of the original owner get extinguished if they fail to take any action for recovery of possession of land within 12 years.

The adverse possession of land in India can be proved if:

  • The nature of possession of the immovable property is visible, hostile, and continuous without any intrusion period
