Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the trial court's decree in favor of the appellants, affirming their title to the property under Section 34 of the Specific Relief Act, 1963, and rejecting the respondent's claim of adverse possession. The Court emphasized that mere possession does not confer title, especially when the original title is established. The Court also ruled that the suit was not barred by limitation, as the plaintiffs were unaware of their title until 1984, thus allowing them to seek relief.
