Dear Charu,

Your friend has got the adverse possession in the property as he is residing for over 20 years.

Does the actual owner of the property has any son, daughter or wife as a legal heir who can claim rights in the property???? please confirm.

if not, then he needs to insert his name in the 7/12 extract so that he could sell the land to you / Further you need to give notice in the local newspaper about purchasing the said land. incase anybody has any objection then the same could be filed else you could execute the transaction.

you need to be cautious and do the title search of the property through a lawyer.

Incase of any query you may call on 09324538481.

Regards
