Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court held that the plaintiffs failed to prove their title over the disputed property, as the defendants had perfected their title through adverse possession under Section 27 of the Limitation Act, 1963. The Court found that the plaintiffs were not in possession for more than 12 years since 10.7.1928, thus barring their suit for recovery of possession. The judgment of the lower courts was upheld, confirming the defendants' ownership rights.
