Occupancy rights by mere lapse of time — section number?

Under the Punjab Tenancy Act, 1887, Section 5 deals with the acquisition of occupancy rights by mere lapse of time. It provides that a tenant may acquire occupancy rights in land merely because of continuous occupation for the period prescribed by law. This provision recognizes long-term possession as a basis for granting legal protection and prevents arbitrary eviction of tenants who have established occupancy rights through uninterrupted possession.
