Adverse possession vs agreement executed

Hi Learned Law Experts,
We were staying in a property more than a century( year 1905) on the first floor , however in year Feb 2002 ,there was an agreement (duly notarized and witnessed )being done by the then Landlord (dead) with us ,which states that he will give us two flats on the third floor and also will also bear the costs of registration and other legal expenses.
On basis of that agreement we have left the first floor and the building was re-constructed up to third floor ,initially it was only ground plus one. We have moved to third floor in June 2002 and as per the agreement ,then landlord has given us two flats. Since then we are staying there in the capacity of owner by the virtue of the Agreement.
We have paid no rent sine 2002 and have all the government proofs( Electricity, Water bills, Telephone bills, Pan Card, Voter ID, Aadhar, LPG ,Kids School and DOB Certificates ,MCD House Tax receipts etc..) establishing our rights .
The issue here us that the Agreement was not executed as the Landlord kept us making fool that there is an Arbitration case going on the property in High Court hence till the case is solved ,he cannot do the Regisrty..we also believed as we were having relations with him / his family for more than a century. We also confirmed that a case was in proceedings in year 2004 .
However, now the landlord died in 2007 and his notorious son took a loan by mortgaging his flats and my flats in year 2009 ,2011 and 2013 Consecutively and became a willful defaulter, Bank got orders issues under SARFAESI to take the possession of my flats as the Landlord Son took a stay on his flat stating that my flats are sufficient to pay off the bank loan. The Order says that the "borrower will handover the possession to bank", however the possession is with us. Police, Court Receiver and Bank personnel are harassing us every now and then, we have provided them all our possession proofs including the Agreement ,still the tension is intact
He and Bank ,both filed a false affidavit in the court that the property is in physical possession of the borrower and no one else stays there.
Now, i need your expert advice to save my family and house from this problem and how can i get my Agreement executed/registered to establish myself as an Owner.
Someone says i should go for Adverse Possession as it has been more that 12 years we are staying with family in the flats and we can use the Agreement as an Evidence.. however some says this is not the right way and i should represent as a tenant.. Please advice whats remedies i have to establish my title and get relief.
This forum always gives right approach and right guidance, Your advice will be a life saver.

Ancestral property hindu joint family(civil law)

Sir/Madam,
The ancestral property division case was filed by children at the ages 19 and 18 years respectively, now their ages are 26 and 25 years respectively. Due to few reasons case is delayed. Now the plaintiff No.1 filed chief examination report in the court, but due to personal reasons(went for higher education)Plaintiff no.1 cannot attend the court. After taking permission from court, we discarded the Plaintiff No.1 evidence report and filed another chief examination report by Plaintiff No.2. But all the facts were not disclosed in the chief examination report submitted by Plaintiff No.2 which are very important in the case.
Can Plaintiff No.2 now discard the present evidence filed and file a new chief examination report disclosing all facts??If so, please tell how it is possible.


The property belongs to Great Grand Father of Plaintiff's and received to Plaintiff's Grand Father as a natural succession according to Hindu Law.Before the death of Grand father of plaintiff's, he performed gift settlement deeds in the favor of all his 5 sons without partition according to meets and bounds and without plaintiff's consent and knowledge. As recently in the Month of May 2014 both Grand Father and Grand mother of Plaintiff's died.During filing the Petition the plaintiff's were not aware of all facts regarding case.They only claimed their share from ancestral property but didn't claim to cancel the sale deeds done over ancestral property.
can Plaintiff's now file a Regender/Additional petition in the civil court??

(or)
Now how can the plaintiff's file all facts, to cancel the gift deeds done over 5 sons and to cancel the sale deeds done over part of ancestral property.Can plaintiff's disclose the above things by filing Additional Petition (or) by filing all facts in another Chief examination report by Plaintiff No.2.
Please help us in finding solution and kindly provide your suggestions.

Thanking You

Time barred debt

My Acquaint Mr Chirag did some shoppings from ABN Amro (Now Kotak Mahindra)Credit card from dec-2006 to oct-2008 totalling around Rs 1 Lakh.
He also paid installments around 77000 (principle+interest) but after that he didnt made any payment of principle or interest because of financial difficulties.
The amount is now over 70000 due to penalties,interest and tax included therein.
He didnt received any legal notice from the bank till now.
Now a new manager is appointed and he threatened Mr chirag by saying to file a police complaint and use of goons for recovering of the balance amount.
As per section 25(3) of Indian Contract Act lender have no right to recover the debt which has exceed the period of limitation which is 3 years and as per the guidelines of RBI debt becomes loss asset for the banks if the default in payments continues for more than 3 years and to be written off as bad debts if auditor consents that so.

Now as the period of default is over 6 years,so it has exceed the period of limitation and bank would have also declared it as a loss asset and bad debts.
I just want to ask that are there any additional aspects of law in this case and can a bank legally recover the money, if yes how?

Your answers are precious..Kindly advice..:)
