Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court addressed the issue of adverse possession in the context of property law, specifically under the Limitation Act, 1963. The Court held that the defendant had established his claim of adverse possession over the suit schedule item no.2 land, having been in continuous and uninterrupted possession since 1970, which was not effectively challenged by the plaintiffs. The Court affirmed the findings of the first appellate court and dismissed the plaintiffs' appeal, thereby upholding the dismissal of their suit for declaration of title and possession.
