casestatus.in Summary

Case Summary: Govindammal v. R. Perumal Chettiar (CA 4357-4358/2000) The Supreme Court allowed Govindammal's appeal, granting her 1/3rd share in the 'B' schedule properties as the legal widow of deceased Raju Naidu. The court rejected the defendants' plea of adverse possession, holding that mere non-participation in profits or a single unpersuasive notice without subsequent action cannot extinguish a co-heir's inheritance rights. The court clarified that adverse possession requires clear hostile denial of rights, continuous possession, and actual ouster—none adequately proven here.
