Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court held that the plaintiffs failed to prove their title over the disputed house, as the defendants had perfected their title by adverse possession under Section 27 of the Limitation Act, 1963. The Court affirmed that the plaintiffs' suit was barred by limitation since they had not been in possession for more than 12 years from the date of dispossession in 1928. Consequently, the Court upheld the lower courts' decisions, ruling in favor of the defendants.
