1 - 10 of 10 (0.30 seconds)Govind Yadav And Ors. vs Deoki Devi And Ors. on 3 April, 1979
In support of his arguments, learned counsel for the appellants has cited
1980 AIR (Patna) 113 titled Govind Yadav and others vs. Deoki Devi and
others. In order to appreciate the aforesaid proposition, the concept of adverse
possession has to be appreciated in the light of facts of the present case as well
as the legal position of the subject matter.
Karnataka Board Of Wakf vs Government Of India & Ors on 16 April, 2004
22. A mere possession or permissive possession does not demonstrate
spectrum of adverse possession. For claiming adverse possession, the
defendants must prove that their possession, is "nec vi, nec clam, nec
precario", i.e. peaceful, open and continuous. The possession should be actual,
open, notorious, exclusive and continuous for the required time as provided in
law. The necessary ingredients of adverse possession as enumerated in 2004
(2) RCR (Civil) 702 tilted as Karnataka Board Wakf Vs. Government of
India are that the adverse possession is a hostile possession by clearly asserting
hostile title in denial of the title of the true owner. A party claiming adverse
possession must prove that his possession is "nec vi, nec clam, nec precario"

Smt. Harjit Grewal And Others vs Dr. Vinod Kumar Batra And Others on 16 April, 2009
In support of the aforesaid
contention, learned counsel has cited 2010 (2) PLR 235 titled Smt.Harjit
Grewal and others vs. Dr.Vinod Kumar Batra and others. There cannot be
any dispute on the aforesaid proposition of law. Question arises whether
subject matter of all the issues are to be decided or issue-wise findings are to be
given by the learned Lower Appellate Court. Since the trial court proceeded to
club issue Nos.1, 2 and 3 and recorded the findings jointly, and thereafter
remaining issues were also tested on the basis of findings recorded under issues
No.1, 2 and 3, therefore, requirement of law in the considered opinion of this
Court is that the subject matter of all the issues should be met properly by the
learned Lower Appellate Court while deciding the appeal. After recording
finding of fact under issues No.1, 2 and 3, learned trial court took up individual
issues No.4 to 7 and on the basis of findings recorded under issues No.1, 2 and
3 tested the veracity and scope of these issues, and ultimately, held that these
issues are dependent upon the findings of issues No.1, 2 and 3 except issue
No.6 which was not pressed by the defendants, and issue No.7 which was
found to be against the defendants themselves because they were having
conflicting interest in the property according to their pleadings. In view of the
matter, the learned trial court based its conclusion solely on the basis of
findings recorded under issues no.1, 2 and 3. Learned Lower Appellate Court
endorsed the findings recorded under issues No.1, 2 and 3 in substantial part

of the judgment. In the concluding part i.e. in para No.34, the learned Lower
Appellate Court has observed that the court has considered the submissions
made by the learned counsel for the appellants, and no illegality and perversity
has been committed by the learned trial court while recording findings under
all the issues in favour of the plaintiffs. When the issues No.1, 2 and 3 were
collectively decided by the learned trial court and the learned lower appellate
court has also endorsed the same findings, it cannot be objected on this premise
that issues no.1, 2 and 3 have not been decided by the learned lower appellate
court. Since issue No.4 is totally dependent upon the failure of plea of adverse
possession in the defence, therefore, this issue is also dependent on the finding
recorded under issues No.1, 2 and 3. Issue No.5 is also related issue and its
finding were totally dependent upon the finding recorded under issues No.1, 2
and 3, therefore, the finding on issues No.1, 2 and 3 which were upheld by the
learned lower appellate court, covers the finding of issue no.5. Issue No.6 was
not pressed before the learned trial court, therefore, learned lower appellate
court is also justified in saying that no illegality and perversity has been
committed by the learned trial court. Issue No.7 is related to inter se conflict
between defendants No.1 and 2 on one hand and defendant No.3 on the other
hand. Since defendant No.3 has not filed any Regular Second Appeal against
the same judgment and decree passed by the learned lower appellate Court,
therefore, in view of the matter, it has necessary bearing on the case of the
appellant also. In a way the findings recorded by the learned lower appellate
court, have become final in view of no challenge having been made by
defendant No.3.
