Elumalai Naicker & Anr vs Chandran Naicker

The Supreme Court addressed a civil appeal concerning a dispute over property ownership and possession under the principles of adverse possession. The Court held that the defendant's claim of adverse possession was not substantiated as he failed to prove continuous and uninterrupted possession for the requisite period. The Court affirmed the trial court's decision in favor of the plaintiffs, granting them title and possession of the property, thereby reinforcing the legal principle that mere possession without lawful title does not confer ownership under the Limitation Act, 1963.
