State vs . Harish & Ors. on 21 December, 2021
In the case titled as Maguni Charan Pradhan vs State of
Orissa 1991 SCC (3) 719, it has been observed by the
honourable Supreme Court of India that a rightful owner in
peaceful possession of his land is entitled to defend his property
against any person or persons who threatened to disposes him.
The law does not expect any coward eyes on his part when there
is real and image imminent danger to his property from outside
sources. Thus a rightful owner is entitled to throw out, by using
such force as would in the circumstances of the case appear to be
reasonably necessary, any person who tries to invade his right to
peaceful possession of his property.
