1 - 10 of 12 (0.25 seconds)Radhamoni Debi vs The Collector Of Khulna And Ors. on 24 March, 1900
It was held at page 137 as follows—
“As to what constitutes adverse possession, a subject which
formed the topic of some discussion in the case, their Lordships
adopt the language of Lord Robertson in delivering the
judgment of the Board in Radhamoni Debi v. Collector of
Khulna 1900 L.R. 27 I.A. 136 at 140=27 Cal. 943 (P.C.),
where His Lordship said that the possession required must be
adequate in continuity, in publicity and in extent to show that it
is possession adverse to the competitor”. The classical
requirement is that the ‘possession should be nee vi nec
clamnec precario. Mr. Dunne for the Crown appeared to
desiderate that the adverse possession should be shown to have
been brought to the knowledge of the Crown, but in their
Lordships' opinion there is no authority for this requirement. It
is sufficient that the possession be overt and without any
attempt at concealment so that the person against whom time is

running ought, if he exercises due vigilance, to be aware of
what is happening. If the rights of the Crown have been openly
usurped it cannot be heard to plead that the act was not
brought to its notice.”

another v. Purushothaman, 2000 (3) M.L.J. 785, in
which K. Sampath, J has held that ‘animus’ in the legal
parlance would mean mind, design, will, intention,
disposition and to claim with regard to possession, the
term is animus possidendi, which means the intention of
possession and the person claiming adverse possession
must intend in his mind to possess a property as his own
and it does not mean that he must be conscious that the
property belongs to somebody else and all that is
required by the term ‘animus’ in the context of adverse
possession is that the person must have intention to
possess the property as his own and I agree with the
above view of the learned Judge.”
Ravinder Kaur Grewal vs Manjit Kaur on 7 August, 2019
“14. As to whether the plaintiff can claim title on the
basis of adverse possession, this Court in a
judgment Ravinder Kaur Grewal v. Manjit Kaur [Ravinder
Kaur Grewal v. Manjit Kaur, (2019) 8 SCC 729 : (2019) 4
SCC (Civ) 453] has held as under: (SCC p. 777, para 60)
“60. The adverse possession requires all the three classic

requirements to co-exist at the same time, namely, nec vi
i.e. adequate in continuity, nec clam i.e. adequate in
publicity and nec precario i.e. adverse to a competitor, in
denial of title and his knowledge. Visible, notorious and
peaceful so that if the owner does not take care to know
notorious facts, knowledge is attributed to him on the basis
that but for due diligence he would have known it. Adverse
possession cannot be decreed on a title which is not
pleaded. Animus possidendi under hostile colour of title is
required. Trespasser's long possession is not synonymous
with adverse possession. Trespasser's possession is
construed to be on behalf of the owner, the casual user
does not constitute adverse possession. The owner can take
possession from a trespasser at any point in time.
Possessor looks after the property, protects it and in case
of agricultural property by and large the concept is that
actual tiller should own the land who works by dint of his
hard labour and makes the land cultivable. The legislature
in various States confers rights based on possession.”

“Interference with the concurrent findings of
the courts below by the High Court under Section
100 CPC must be avoided unless warranted by
compelling reasons. In any case, the High Court is
not expected to reappreciate the evidence just to
replace the findings of the lower courts. … Even
assuming that another view is possible on a
reappreciation of the same evidence, that should not
have been done by the High Court as it cannot be
said that the view taken by the first appellate court
was based on no material.”
