Ravinder Kaur Grewal vs Manjit Kaur

The Supreme Court addressed whether a person claiming title through adverse possession can file a suit under Article 65 of the Limitation Act, 1963, for declaration of title and permanent injunction against dispossession. The Court held that a person with a perfected title by adverse possession can indeed seek legal remedies to protect their possession and recover it in case of illegal dispossession, thereby establishing that Article 65 allows such a claim to be used offensively, not just defensively. This judgment clarifies the rights of adverse possessors in relation to the original title holder's extinguished rights.
