1 - 10 of 19 (0.96 seconds)The Limitation Act, 1963
Mst. Nirashi Bai vs Ramlal S/O Kajal Ganda And Ors. on 7 October, 2005
51. In the instant case, defendants 3 to 5 admitting
the plaintiff's title over the suit property contend that
defendants 4 and 5 are in possession of the suit property
as intending purchasers. They failed to prove the said
57
OS.26041/2007
contention. In the instant case, it is not the contention of
defendants 3 to 5 that they are in possession of the suit
property unauthorisedly to the knowledge of plaintiff with
hostile intention to acquire title by adverse possession.
When such is the case, in view of plaintiff filed the
instant suit for recovery of possession on the basis of title,
Article 65 of the Limitation Act would apply and in view
of defendants 3 to 5 have not put-forth the defence of
adverse possession, the instant suit cannot be said to be
barred by limitation on the ground that plaintiff failed to
prove her possession 12 years prior to impleading
defendants 4 and 5 as parties to the suit. In support of
my view in addition to placing reliance on the findings
given in para No.12 and 13 in the case of Mst. Nirashi
Bai Vs Ramlal & Ors cited supra I place reliance on the
judgment of Hon'ble Supreme Court of India in the case
of Indira Vs Armugam and another reported in ILR 1998
Kar. 1422. In the said judgment, the Hon'ble Supreme
Court of India has held as under:
Article 64 in Constitution of India [Constitution]
Section 91 in The Indian Evidence Act, 1872 [Entire Act]

Sri Ramaiah vs Sri B N Govinda Reddy on 10 June, 2008
53. I went through the judgment of Hon'ble
Supreme Court of India in the case of Ramaiah Vs N.
Narayana Reddy. In the said judgment, plaintiff and
defendant both contend that as owners they are in
possession of the suit property. Both are having sale
deeds in their favour. Defendant in addition to his
contention that as owner he is in possession of the suit
property also put-forth the defence that in the year 1971
he ousted the plaintiff from the suit property. In view of
both the parties put forth their claim of title and
59
OS.26041/2007
defendant put forth the defence of ouster, the Hon'ble
Supreme Court of India has held that in view of plaintiff
failed to prove the possession over the suit property 12
years prior to the date of institution of suit, the suit for
possession is barred by limitation. In the said case,
Hon'ble Supreme Court of India has opined that whether
Article 64 or 65 of Limitation Act would apply to the case
is to be decided on the basis of the facts and
circumstances of the case and pleas putforth by the
parties. In the instant case, defendants 3 to 5 admitting
the plaintiff's title over the suit property contend that she
voluntarily handed over the possession to them under
agreement of sale dated: 15.2.2005 which they failed to
prove. Except the said contention, defendants 3 to 5 have
not put-forth any other contention. Therefore, having
regard to the contentions taken in the instant suit, Article
65 of Limitation Act would apply and in view of
defendants not put-forth the plea of adverse possession,
the instant suit cannot be said to be barred by limitation.
