There is no such law right now in India which deprives a person under Adverse possession. Supreme Court had declared it giving it premium for wrong doers--hence 12 years and 30 years --- Limitation Act have been strucked off.

Mr. P. Singh--- update Yourself.

The Supreme Court On 23/9/2009,Tuesday recommended to the central government to change an archaic law, which accords legal rights to an illegal occupier of land if its real owner fails to take legal action to retrieve the property within a stipulated time.
Recommending a suitable amendment to the law on 'adverse possession,’ a bench of Justice Dalveer Bhandari and Justice Harjit Singh Bedi asked the SC registry to send its ruling to Law Secretary T.K. Vishvanathan.
The apex court concluded by saying, ”In our considered view there is an urgent meet of fresh look regarding the law on adverse possession. We recommend the Union of India to seriously consider and make suitable changes in the law of adverse possession."
