Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed the issue of adverse possession under Article 65 of the Limitation Act, 1963, determining that the plaintiff's claim of ownership through adverse possession was not valid due to the existence of a registered settlement deed that established clear title in favor of the defendants. The Court held that mere possession does not equate to ownership when a valid title exists, thereby dismissing the plaintiff's appeal and affirming the lower court's decision. The ruling emphasized the importance of registered documents in establishing property rights.
