RAJA RAMESHWAR RAO AND ANOTHER vs RAJA GOVIND RAO

The Supreme Court held that while a limited interest in property can be acquired through adverse possession, a permanent lease in a jagir cannot be established unless explicitly permitted by the grant. The Court clarified that each grantee holds the jagir for their lifetime, and limitation periods must start from the date of each grantee's title. The Court distinguished the case from previous rulings, emphasizing that a jagirdar cannot grant a lease beyond their lifetime unless specifically authorized, thus preventing tacking of adverse possession periods across different jagirdars under Article 144 of the Indian Limitation Act, 1908.
