My friends occupied a land where he is settled for above 15 years.

There is my friend who has a house establishment on a plot in the name of a private person who is not taking interest to recover his property from settled occupiers. However, my friend is residing there about above 15 years. Is there any law / rule that he could register said property on his name.

Thanks

Hi Nizal,

This is a very common practice in Pakistan where people buy land on other people's name etc. Tell me though, who exactly owns the land (in the sense that), did the occupant made the payment or was is the person in who's name the land is? If the occupant and the land owners are friends then there is a very simple process for transferring the property. Please clarify the situation first so that we can advise accordingly.

Also where exactly is this land? In Punjab, Sindh, Balochistan, KPK, Kashmir?
