NO, even agasint govt. you can claim title on the basis of adverse possession.
There is a property at kolkta where i am a subtenant. i am not a notified sub tenant, but i am an occupant since 1956. now there is no recorded owner since 1985 and my lawyers say that the property may be handed to the state government. in that situation what are the pros and cons of this. am i on a sticky wicket for not being a notified sub tenant? can the court direct the goverenment to evict me in spite of me paying all my rents in time
See if you have possession from 1956 you can claim tenancy of the property based on paid.based on timely rent paid claim the benifit.
It is not clear how the property is to be handed over to the Government.
If the property is acquired by the government by any gazette notification then only the government requisition the same for the purpose for which is acquired the same.
The process of acquisition can be challenged only by the lawful owner . If you can not establish the title over this property the government will not award the requisition money to you and still would take physical possession of the same.
1) you cannot be evicted without due process of law
2) since you are in occupation since 1956 you cannot be forcibly evicted
1. You are paying the rent to the tenant which establishes that you aev his sub tenant.
2. You must be having your PAN Card, Vorter ID Card and also Aadhar Card made showiung the said sub-tenanted address as your address to prove that you have been staying therein since 1956.
3. Has anybody filed an eviction suit against you?
4. If yes, then you shall have adequate evidence to prove that you are te sub-tenant therein to defend your case.
5. If eviction has been filed by some one, then you shall have to act as per Court's direction only.
Till you are not been evicted or send any notice from Court you don't have to evict. You can contest the same
