My father purchased a land in 2008, he rarely checked/physically visited the land because of his hectic job. Recently we got to know that someone has been cultivating on our land and we got to know about a case that a person can put a claim on land if hes been cultivating it for more than 12 years. We have all the proper documents of our land. Do we need to get worry? We are not sure since when hes been cultivating on our land.

Yes .it’s called easement right. It will be better if you go claim back the last and do some construction. Or change something, either by hook or crook ease them out of property.
Ps. Not a lawyer . But studying to be one .

NAL but there are few stringent conditions that need to be fulfilled to claim land after cultivating for 12 years. I think there are 3. Look them up.

One of them is that if you’ve objected anywhere to them using the land even once in either police or court or otherwise, they cannot claim it. Usually these cases don’t work out in the favour of the illegal occupant. Look into Supreme Court’s decisions and rulings regarding similar cases.
