Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the High Court's decision to decree the plaintiff's suit for declaration of title and possession, rejecting the appellant's claim of adverse possession. The Court noted that the ingredients for establishing adverse possession were not satisfied as per established precedents, including P. Lakshmi Reddy vs. L. Lakshmi Reddy and Suraj Mal vs. Ram Singh. The Court clarified that the absence of a substantial question of law framed by the High Court did not invalidate its judgment, as no prejudice was shown by the appellant, thus affirming the High Court's ruling.
