The period of limitation for a suit for possession of immovable property based on TITLE (in the absence of adverse possession facts) under the Limitation Act, 1963 is:

Explanation: A suit for possession of immovable property based on title is governed by Article 65 of the Limitation Act and may be filed within TWELVE years from the date the defendant's possession becomes adverse to the plaintiff. The longer period reflects the law's protection of a lawful titleholder's recovery. Articles governing title-based recovery typically carry twelve years, whereas suits on contract or for money carry three years. Adverse possession runs concurrently and, if completed for twelve years, extinguishes the owner's title (Section 27). Thus title itself must be asserted within the twelve-year outer limit.
