Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the High Court's decision regarding the ownership and possession of land classified as Government Burial Poramboke, emphasizing the principles of adverse possession under Section 27 of the Limitation Act, 1963. The Court found that the respondents had established their claim of ownership through continuous possession for over 100 years, thereby perfecting their title against the Government. The appeals by the appellants were dismissed, affirming the High Court's ruling that recognized the respondents' rights over the suit-land.
