Mohammed Yassin vs Ramizabi Etc. Etc

The Supreme Court addressed the issue of adverse possession in the context of property disputes, specifically referencing the principles established under the Limitation Act, 1963. The Court held that the High Court erred in concluding that the respondents had perfected their title by adverse possession after the expiry of 12 years from the final decree in O.S. No.295 of 1981, as the initial permissive possession had not been transformed into hostile possession. Consequently, the Supreme Court reversed the High Court's order and restored the decrees of the trial and appellate courts in favor of the appellant.
