BANGALORE DEVT.AUTH. vs N.JAYAMMA

The Supreme Court ruled that the respondent, N. Jayamma, had perfected her title to the suit property through adverse possession under Article 112 of the Limitation Act, 1963, despite the property being acquired by the Bangalore Development Authority (BDA) under the Land Acquisition Act, 1894. The Court held that the respondent's continuous possession for over 12 years was valid, as the original owner had sold the property to her after the acquisition, and the BDA's claim of possession was not substantiated. Consequently, the appeal by the BDA was dismissed, affirming the trial court's decision in favor of the respondent.
