You can become the owner of property by adverse possession if you have been living and have been in possession of that property for so long that you become the owner of the property to the exception of the real owner by adverse possession.
As per section 27 of Limitation Act, you become the owner by adverse possession if the owner doesn't lay claim within a period of twelve years.
