Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court upheld the High Court's decree recognizing the plaintiffs' title to land based on adverse possession, as per the principles established under Section 27 of the Limitation Act, 1963. The Court found that the plaintiffs had been in continuous and hostile possession of the land since 1931, despite the defendants' claims of ownership and possession. The Court dismissed the defendants' arguments regarding sub-tenancy and lack of proof of possession, affirming the plaintiffs' rights to the land.
