Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court examined the claim of the plaintiffs for ownership of land through adverse possession under the Limitation Act, 1963, specifically Section 27. The Court held that continuous and hostile possession for over 12 years can lead to title acquisition, rejecting the defendants' claims of sub-tenancy and possession. The Court upheld the High Court's decree in favor of the plaintiffs, confirming their ownership of the land based on adverse possession.
