- The Law Commission is headed by former Chief Justice of Karnataka High Court Ritu Raj Awasthi.
- “There is no justification for introducing any change in the law relating to adverse possession” the 22nd Law Commission has said in its recent report.
- The concept of adverse possession stems from the idea that land must not be left vacant but instead be put to judicious use.
- The adverse possession refers to the hostile possession of property, which must be “continuous, uninterrupted, and peaceful.”
- The first attempt to bring the law of limitation to domestic shores was the “Act XIV of 1859”.
- It regulated the limitation of civil suits in British India.
- After the passage of the Limitation Act in 1963, the law on adverse possession underwent significant changes.
- Under the Limitation Act, 1963, any person in possession of private land for over 12 years or government land for over 30 years can become the owner of that property.
