Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court upheld the judgments of the Himachal Pradesh High Court, affirming the respondents' ownership and possession of land under the principles of adverse possession as outlined in Section 27 of the Limitation Act, 1963. The Court emphasized that the appellants could not interfere with the respondents' rights without following due process, including the requirement of compensation for possession as mandated by law. The Court also addressed the issue of revenue entries, ruling that incorrect entries do not negate the respondents' established possession rights.
