Copy of Judgment

Summary The court dismissed the plaintiffs' suit for declaration of ownership and perpetual injunction over agricultural land (Gat No. 116/2) based on adverse possession. The court found that while a suit based on adverse possession is maintainable under Indian law, the plaintiffs failed to prove the essential ingredients of adverse possession—namely continuous, exclusive, hostile possession for 12 years with ouster of the true owners. The defendants had established their title through a binding partition decree from 1982, which the plaintiffs admitted but did not challenge. The court held that the defendants' decree prevails over the plaintiffs' revenue documents and panchnama records, and that the plaintiffs provided insufficient evidence of exclusive or hostile possession. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
