Yes, you understood it right. To be more specific, we’ve been using the land for agriculture and livestock for over 20 years, and it’s divided among the four brothers. However, one of brothers has built a house on a portion of the land, even though it’s not officially owned. We’ve recently gotten an electricity connection, but I’m wondering if it’s possible to legally claim ownership before I plan to make home there.
Some people in nearby villages have built houses and says the land automatically becomes residential.. because there is not much place left for pasture…. and it become easier to claim the ownership… which is why I’m looking for advice on the legality of it. Would that approach work, or should we consider other legal steps to secure our rights?
