Re: adverse possession of property
As per the indian law the true owner can claim back the possession from a tresspasser with in a period of 12 years. You can file a suit for possession and must prove that the possession of other person is without any right and not more than 12 years.
Re: adverse possession of property
Yes ofcourse, you can claim the property by filing a suit in the proper court against the present occupiers on the basis of the registered sale deed, but you must do it very fast, since as you say, the property is in possesion of others since last 10 years.
