If the vendor claim adverse possession then he has to file a suit for declaratio to declare his title to the excess property by oeprating the law of adverse possession.

However your father can file a suit for declaration and possession of encroached portion of property  and he has to take an immediate action before the vendor awakes from his sleep

The vendor has already sold and released the property in favour of vendee (your father), hence the vendor has no right, claim, interest or title over the property stated to have been sold by him in the year 1997.

Concept of adverse possession do not apply in the instant case.

Contact and consult a local prudent lawyer with relevant records for better appreciation of facts, proper anlayses, professional advise and necessary proceeding.
