Yes you can sue him. You also have the option of filing a police complaint against him for trespass and encroachment.
You have to choose between either of the two options
My brother's house(built in his share of family property) have been encroaching my mothers property for the last 25 years. Now my mother's property is owned by me by will. Now I am the sole owner of the property. Can I take my encroached property from my brother by filing a civil case. Is adverse possession is applicable in this case?

You can file suit against your brother for removal of encroachment on your property

Dear Sir,
Please file a suit for declaration and partition with directions to demarcation and also challenge the endorsement and mutation entry before tahsildar and commissioner through an appeal of endorsement
Adverse possession is not applicable here you can file a civil suit to get position of your property which is the legally occupied by your brother
Hello Sir,
Please be advised as follows:
1. Firstly, the WILL comes into operation only after passing away of your mother. Therefore, you would get the Title or ownership of the property only after death of your mother.
2. Secondly, you can Easily claim your encroached property NO MATTER for how long your brother was encroaching it.
In the recent judgment of Supreme Court of Ram Nagina Rai vs. Deo Kumar Raiit was held that one who holds possession on behalf of another, does not by mere denial of the other’s title, make his possession adverse so as to give himself the benefit of the statute of limitation.
In your case since the 25 years period would not be counted from backforth, but you can contest in the court that since now you are the owner you want to challenge his possession since you are the rightful owner at present.
Revert in case of any query for consultation.
Thank you
In order to recover your land after removal of encroachment you will have to file a law suit for possession in the civil court. Your remedy lies only before a court of law. In addition to a case for possession.
File a criminal complaint for trespass against your brother.
1. Yes, if you now have become the owner of this property by way of Will, then you can file a civil suit for recovery of of possession.
2. Mere forceful occupation is not enough to establish the law of adverse possession.
3. The rule of ' animus possedendi' is sine qua non to succeed the plea of adverse possession
See you can claim that brother was using that part under permissive possession of mother there was no adverse possession of brother on property and can file suit for possession of that property encroached by the property.
Hi,
In the present case, the adverse possession is not applicable and you may claim the encroached property through civil suit or intervention of SDM of your area.
Dear client
in this case adverse possession can be against you as the limitation to claim adverse possession 12 years
So if you will go to court to claim your property then you could lose your legal right in the property.
So my suggestion is that try to solve this matter out of court.
1. You are free to file a suit for mandatory injunction against your brother to seek directions to him to remove the encroachment.
2. Adverse Possession is not applicable in the scenario.
You may acquire the property as per the schedule written in the Will, if there is a discrepancy you may ask your brother to either return the encroached portion of property or to compensate the same in terms of kind or consideration.
If he is not agreeing to any proposal then you may file a suit for possession of property encroached by him, you dont worry about what stand he may take including adverse possession, you may concentrate on your case alone.
