Is it legal for family members to claim a property after 12 years ?

There are 5 family members A B C D E and F is mother of these family members After death of F's husband F divided ancestral properties of her husband between A to F unequally through plain white paper in 2009 with signatures of all A-F on unregistered partition deed. 'A' got larger share A-E got RTC transferred to themselves separately on their shares of ancestral properties on the same day in 2012. Many of A-E got alienated their shares, absolutely with no interference from any one of A-F. A-E individually were in peaceful possession of their share ancestral properties from 2012 till date which completes 12 years in oct'24. Person A sold one of his shares of so divided ancestral property to a person G in 2016. In 2021 G sold this self-acquired property to H. H got RTC transferred in his name, planted a few more coconut trees and recently fenced the land also. Is it legal for A-F to claim this property which I want to purchase from H?

Sir, A-F are unlikely to successfully claim the property currently owned by H. H acquired the property in good faith from G, and has been in uninterrupted possession since 2021. Additionally, A-F did not challenge the sale within the statutory period, which weakens their legal claim over the property. For further legal assistance contact us on our helpline number.
