Dharmarajan & Others vs Valliammal & Others

The Supreme Court upheld the Madras High Court's decision regarding the ownership of the suit property, emphasizing the importance of valid title and possession in property disputes. The Court reiterated that mere possession does not confer ownership unless backed by legal title, as established under the Transfer of Property Act, 1882. The appeal by the appellants was dismissed, affirming the lower courts' findings that the plaintiff had established his claim through a valid sale deed and adverse possession.
