Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court held that Article 134-B of the Limitation Act, 1908 applies to suits for recovery of possession of immovable property transferred by a previous manager of a religious endowment. The Court found that the appellants had acquired title by prescription, as all conditions of Article 134-B were satisfied, including that the property belonged to the endowment and was transferred for valuable consideration. Consequently, the High Court's decree against the appellants was set aside, affirming their title to the properties in question.
