State Of Haryana vs Mukesh Kumar & Ors

The Supreme Court addressed the issue of adverse possession, emphasizing that the State of Haryana's claim to ownership of land through adverse possession raises significant legal questions regarding property rights. The Court held that the government cannot acquire land from its citizens under the guise of adverse possession, as this undermines the protection of life, liberty, and property guaranteed to citizens. The Court dismissed the Special Leave Petition, reinforcing the principle that adverse possession should not be used by the State to dispossess rightful owners without due process.
