    how big is the land and how big is the building. Is he using the whole land apart from the building if so for how long. The details are not enough but if he had remained in the building without paying a rent for more than 10 years he has acquired it in terms of section 4 of Prescription ordinance. he may have acquired the land as well if he used the land . It seemed you can claim your money from the co-operative if you were deceived, but if they informed you cant even claim the money.
    Why did not you consult a lawyer before purchasing such a land. You can file a case , but if he had acquired prescriptive rights to building he cannot be evicted and you will loose more money.
    In srilanka such a case would normally take more than 10 years depending on the lawyer, judge etc. There is no guarantee of result as our courts are very unpredictable to say the least. Anyway you need to see a good lawyer but do not rush to court as it seemed your case is a weak one. But get advice from at least 3 different lawyers before you do anything. Litigation is very costly and even if you have a strong case you are not certain of winning it under our system due to various factors which I do not want to say here. You can get an idea once you get proper advice. Litigation is the last option and should be avoided as much as possible. It only make lawyers rich.
