the record of the ownership is Fard Jamabandi and in the jamabandi. it is also mentioned in the jamabandi that any body is there in the column of cultivation as Khana Kasht. When your name appears in the ownership and Column of Cultivation it is clear that the Girdawari is in your name if not than the Girdawari is changed in some one else name (in the column of cultivation)
If your name appears in the owner column and not in the Cultivatin column than Girdawari is not in your name and you can move an application to Assisatant Collector for Drusti Girdawari and in the way Girdawari will be turned in your name and if the Girdawari is in your name than you can file a suit for possesion and also for permanent injuction in the civil courts.

he may seek adverse possession on the said land

The mere fact that the person has been cultivating the land for a long time would not ipso facto confer ownership title to him.It is important to asecratin if the land belongs to the Govt. If it belongs to Govt and he is found to be an encroacher he would not get title to the land and cannot transfer validly under law.

I agree with Mr.Gupta, If the land is owned by Government, he can not claim ownership.
If it is private land and the possession is un-interrrupted, then he can claim for adverse possession
