BALKISHAN vs SATYAPRAKASH

The Supreme Court examined the principles of adverse possession under the Madhya Pradesh Land Revenue Code, 1959, affirming that continuous possession for a statutory period can lead to title acquisition. The Court held that the appellant had established his title to the agricultural land by adverse possession, as he had been in continuous possession despite previous legal challenges. The High Court's decision to set aside the trial court's decree was reversed, reinstating the trial court's judgment in favor of the appellant.
