Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court held that the defendant's claim of possession under Section 53A of the Transfer of Property Act was not substantiated, as he failed to produce the alleged sale deed and did not meet the necessary pleadings for such protection. The Court also ruled that the defendant's possession was permissive and did not amount to adverse possession, as he did not assert a hostile title. Consequently, the Court upheld the lower court's decree in favor of the plaintiff for possession of the agricultural land.
