The Secretary Of State For India vs Debendra Lal Khan on 30 November, 1933
"4. Now, the ordinary classical requirement of adverse possession
is that it should be nec vi nec clam necprecario. [See Secretary of
State for India V. DebendraLal Khan (1993) LR611A 78, 82]. The
possession required must be adequate in continuity, in publicity
and in extent to show that it is possession adverse to the
competitor.

A.S.No.453 of 2023
MANU/PR/0007/1900: (1900) LR 27 IA 136, 140]). But it is well-
settled that in order to establish adverse possession of one co-heir
as against another it is not enough to show that one out of them is
in sole possession and enjoyment of the profits of the properties.
Ouster of the non-possessing co-heir by the co-heir in possession
who claims his possession to be adverse, should be made out. The
possession of one co-hair is considered, in law, as possession of all
the co-heirs. When one co-heir is found to be in possession of the
properties it is presumed to be on the basis of joint title the co-heir
in possession cannot render his possession adverse to the other co-
heir not in possession merely by any secret hostile animus on his
own part in derogation of the other co-heir's title.
Vidya Devi @ Vidya Vati (Dead)By L.Rs vs Prem Prakash & Ors on 10 May, 1995
This Court in Vidya Devi
V. Prem Prakash (7) held that: 28. Ouster does not mean actual
driving out of the co-sharer from the property. It will, however, not
be complete unless it is coupled with all other ingredients
requiredto constitute adverse possession. Broadly speaking, three
elements are necessary for establishing the plea of ouster in the
case of co-owner.”
Vineeta Sharma vs Rakesh Sharma on 11 August, 2020
In the reported ruling in the case of Vineeta Sharma Vs.
Rakesh Sharma reported in 2020 (9) SCC 1, the first Defendant's claim
that the Suit is hit by non-joiner of party as the suit property had been
partitioned in the year 1979 between the sons of the Defendant through his
first and second wife. Pending suit, the Defendant died. Therefore, all the
legal heirs of the sole Defendant were impleaded by the Plaintiff.
Therefore, the question of non-joinder will not arise. After impleadment,

each of them filed written statement. In all the written statements, the
claim of the partition is stated but the D.W-1 to D.W-3 had in their cross-
examination admitted that the Plaintiff was not a party to the partition
deed. The Plaintiff was not informed of the partition. Therefore, the
observation by the learned trial Judge granting preliminary decree on the
ground that she was not a party to the partition and that she was not
informed of the partition by the Defendants holds good. The Plaintiff had
sought a partition of her father's self-acquired property and not the
ancestral coparcenery property. Therefore, the submissions of the learned
Counsel for the Appellants will not hold good to the facts of this case.
