The State Of Punjab vs Bhagwantpal Singh Alias Bhagwant Singh ...

The Supreme Court upheld the High Court's decision restoring the Trial Court's decree for possession of land, emphasizing that the suit filed by the plaintiff was barred by limitation under Section 3 of the Limitation Act, as it was initiated 43 years after the alleged donation. The Court established that the absence of documentation proving the gift and the long period of acquiescence by the original owner indicated that the State's possession was lawful. The Court concluded that the plaintiff's claim lacked merit, affirming the Trial Court's findings.
