Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed the issue of adverse possession under the Limitation Act, 1963, specifically Section 27, which allows a person to claim ownership after continuous possession for 12 years. The Court held that the defendants failed to establish adverse possession as their possession was not hostile and was deemed permissive. The judgment of the High Court restoring the Trial Court's decree in favor of the plaintiffs was upheld, affirming their ownership of the land in question.
