Legal Question in Real Estate Law in India

We are holding around 4500 sq. ft land which we are holding since 1981. We are paying NA tax from 1993 with retrospective 1981. The actual owner is not tracable. Our name is not there in 7/12 as occupant (Kabjedar). It is only there in NA tax receipt along with owners name.Now case is that Owners was having his land around 18000 sqft which he sold to builder and builder has build a building leaving our fenced area. So we are assuming that he left that much land of which we are pretending to be occupant (Kabjedar).

So do we have any right of development on this land. Because one of the builder (Who is not registered developer) is asking us to enter in to agreement of development.

You need to consult your lawyer with all papers & details for proper advice.

Apparently, you are claiming title by prescription i.e. adverse possession. These kind of claims are not easy to prove and necessary judgement/decree from courts may take substantial time.
