Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court examined the applicability of Article 65 of the Limitation Act, 1963, in a suit for possession based on title. The Court held that possession follows title, and the plaintiff must prove continuous possession to establish their claim. The Court upheld the High Court's decision that the suit was time-barred and dismissed the plaintiff's appeal regarding the Parade Ground, while also affirming the dismissal of the claim for Rasala Lines due to lack of ownership proof.
