Maria Margadia Sequeria Fernandes & Ors vs Erasmo Jack De Sequeria (D) Tr.Lrs.& Ors on 21 March, 2012
23.The lower court below while considering the facts and evidence
of the matter has relied upon the judgment AIR 2012 SC 1727
titled as Maria Margarida Sequeria Fernandes and Ors. Vs.
Erasmo Jack De Sequeria (dead) through LRs, wherein the
Hon'ble Supreme Court of India has categorically held that
caretaker, watchman or servant could never acquire interest in
property irrespective of his long possession. Caretaker or
servant has to give possession forthwith on demand. The
aforesaid judgment squarely applies to the present proceedings
between the appellants and the respondent. The appellants are
in possession of the suit property since long however merely
possession of appellants does not confirm right in the suit
property in favour of the appellants. Thus, I have no hesitation
to say that appellants are occupying the suit property in the
RCA No.: 11/14
capacity of permissive one. The findings of the ld. Trial court
calls no interference.
