You can apply for the registration of the said property in your name by producing the tax receipts and other documents supporting your claim that your family was residing their since decades, after the registration you can file a civil suit of declaration in the jurisdictional civil court. You are entitled to the ownership rights of the property by the doctrine of adverse possession.
