The Delhi High Court ruled that long-term residence or usage of a property does not automatically grant legal ownership. Ownership belongs solely to the person whose name is on the registered sale deed. The court dismissed a plea from a woman claiming rights to a house, stating that since the deed was in her brother's name, her stay was merely permissive. Legal ownership via adverse possession requires at least 12 years of continuous occupation with documented proof. The court emphasized that registered documents hold more weight than oral claims in property disputes. https://news18marathi.com/maharashtra/high-court-has-delivered-a-significant-verdict-regarding-property-shares-marathi-news-1690848.html #creator program
