In Ambu Nair v. Secretary of
State (supra), it has been held that a long possession is not necessarily an adverse possession and the possession should be adverse to the knowledge of the true owner. In the instant case, in para 4 of the plaint, there is an unambiguous plea that the plaintiff is in possession of the suit land since 3-2-1953 on the basis of a contract to sell the land in his favour and since then he is holding the land adverse to the interest of the owner and since he is holding that land for a period of over 12 years in adverse possession, therefore, he has perfected his title over the suit land. Therefore, both the judgments of the Supreme Court do not help the respondents in any way because a specific plea of adverse possession has been taken and it has also been mentioned that since when the plaintiff is holding the land in adverse possession.
