Lal Bahadur Singh vs State Of M.P. on 14 August, 1997
The case of Sultan Jahan Begam (supra), which has been partially overruled by the Full Bench, as already stated earlier, also does not help the State, because possession was adverse from 1943 and suit for declaration and possession was brought within 12 years in the year 1954. The suit was decreed and the decree was executed. It was, therefore, held that the time taken in litigation could not be counted for adverse possession. Time was arrested and the decree related back to the date of filing of the suit. The distinction here is the suit was decreed and possession was delivered. However, in this case even proceedings Under Section 248 did not go against the appellant.
