Can a tenant apply for ownership if the Owner is Dead?

A Person has been a tenant of an URBAN VILLAGE LAND in Delhi since 1955. Regular rent was being paid to the Owner as per the Girdawari.

Now in todays date there is no sign of the owner / their heirs or anyone and the address stated in the records does not exist anymore.

In this case since the KABZA is with the Tenant since 1955, can the tenant by any way get the Ownership of the Land? All ideas are welcome.

ok.. Sorry about that!

Well so the tenant can stay there as long as the owner /legal heirs dont come up and ask for eviction right?

Now good thinking. You can stay there as long as legal heirs ask you for eviction.

First lodge a complaint with District Educational office, Distrct Collector and Superintendent of Police. Later take a advice from learned advocate for eviction.
