Can heir claim land share after 20 years absence?
One of the heirs has had the mutation recorded only in his name, and the Pothi Khata has reflected only his name for the past 20 years. He has been in possession of and enjoying the land. He is a farmer and has developed the land by installing a borewell and electricity, though the taxes are in my name. Now, another heir, who is not a farmer, has shown up in the village after 20 years and is claiming a share in the land, even though there are no documents between the heirs. What can be done in this case?
Since no formal partition exists, the other heir can claim a share, even after 20 years. However, your long possession, development, and mutation records support your case. File for a declaratory suit and adverse possession claim if conditions meet. A legal settlement or partition suit may help resolve the dispute permanently.
