SYEDA RAHIMUNNISA vs MALAN BI (DEAD) BY LRS. & ANR.ETC.

The Supreme Court upheld the High Court's decision that the respondents had established their claim of ownership over the suit-land through adverse possession, as per the principles laid down under the Limitation Act, 1963. The Court emphasized that continuous possession for over 100 years by the respondents' predecessors, coupled with the lack of any legal action from the appellants, constituted sufficient grounds for the respondents to claim title. Consequently, the appeals filed by the appellants were dismissed, affirming the High Court's ruling in favor of the respondents.
