Apart from the faulure of defendant, you have to stand on your legs, proving your claim. Failure of defendant may be useful but not at all.

Re: property suit

If you had filed for possession, then you only have to prove that you were in possession and came to be dispossessed by the defendant.

Limitation will depends on your pleading about the date of dispossession.

Re: property suit

It may depend upon your suit - what relief you are seeking. The adverse possession is a defence and not a weapon. You may need to built your own case and prove your case independent of the case of the defendant.
