KANNAN(DEAD) BY LRS. vs V.S. PANDURANGAM (DEAD) BY LRS. .

The Supreme Court upheld the Madras High Court's decision to decree the plaintiff's suit for declaration of title and possession, rejecting the defendant's claim of adverse possession. The Court noted that the defendant failed to satisfy the necessary ingredients for adverse possession as established in prior cases such as 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 does not automatically invalidate its judgment if no prejudice is shown to the appellant, thus affirming the High Court's ruling.
