Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed the issue of adverse possession in relation to land acquired under the Land Acquisition Act, 1894, specifically citing Sections 4 and 6. The Court held that the respondent, having been in continuous possession of the property for over 12 years, had perfected her title by adverse possession despite the land being acquired by the government. The Court affirmed the trial court's decision, which ruled in favor of the respondent, declaring her as the rightful owner of the suit property.
