Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed the issue of title and possession of property under the principles of adverse possession and res judicata. The Court held that the defendant's claim of adverse possession was not substantiated as there was no evidence of continuous and uninterrupted possession for the statutory period. Furthermore, the Court emphasized that the previous judgments in related suits established the plaintiff's title, thereby rejecting the defendant's claims. The appeal was allowed, affirming the plaintiff's right to recover possession of the property.
