KSHITISH CHANDRA BOSE vs COMMISSIONER OF RANCHI

The Supreme Court clarified the law of adverse possession, stating that continuous, open possession without concealment suffices for establishing title by prescription under Section 27 of the Limitation Act. The Court held that the High Court exceeded its jurisdiction under Section 100 of the Civil Procedure Code by reversing concurrent findings of fact from the trial and appellate courts. The appeal was allowed, and the High Court's judgment was set aside, reaffirming the principles laid down in Keshardeo Chamria v. Radha Kissen Chamria and others.
