Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court held that under Article 65 of the Limitation Act, 1963, a suit for possession based on title must be filed within 12 years of adverse possession. The Court found that the respondents, as heirs of their father, were entitled to assert their title after their mother's death in 1966, and the appellant failed to prove when their possession became adverse. The appeal was dismissed, affirming the lower courts' decisions that the suit was filed within the permissible period and was rightly decreed.
