In most states and m?

In most states and most cases, the payment of property taxes, in and of itself, does not have bearing on the question of property ownership. It is possible that a co-owner of real estate paying property taxes over the course of years would have a claim against the other co-owner, but that only goes to a monetary claim for the taxes...not the joint ownership which it sounds as though was clearly established via a quit claim deed.h

What is the most recent US Supreme Court case about land dispute between two states?

The most recent US Supreme Court case involving a land dispute between two states involved the battle for ownership of portions of Ellis Island in New Jersey v. New York, 523 US 767 (1998).The boundary between the states generally runs down the center of the Hudson River; however, in an 1834 compact, the states agreed that then-3-acre Ellis Island, which was on the New Jersey side of New York Harbor, would fall under the sovereign authority of New York. New Jersey retained ownership of all submerged land. Later, after the Federal government decided to use the island to process newly arrived immigrants, it filled the submerged areas around the island, expanding it by 24.5 acres (27.5 total).In 1993, New Jersey filed suit to claim the previously submerged part of Ellis Island, which ceased being used for immigration in 1954 and is now an historic landmark. New York claimed rights to the entire property or, barring that, asked that the boundary be moved to give New York all the buildings on the property.The Supreme Court ruled it lacked authority to change the boundary, and awarded the State of New Jersey the 24.5 filled acres, including the buildings that had been constructed on them.The New Jersey State Legislature is considering proposals for erecting casinos on the land. Meanwhile, a small renegade faction in New Jersey has attempted to claim Staten Island for the state, and is planning to use the site for a landfill. This case has not yet been filed in court.

In India can a tenant stays in a rental house for more than 10 years. is he liable to claim that it his house?

In India, a tenant can stay in a rental house for more than 10 years, but he cannot claim ownership of the property solely based on tenure. The ownership of the property remains with the landlord unless a specific agreement or legal provision states otherwise. It is important to have a clear rental agreement to avoid any disputes over ownership rights in the future.
