RSA-435-1999 (O&M) -2- However learned counsel for the appellants has failed to convince this Court as to what material evidence has not been taken into considera(on by the Courts below. Learned counsel submits that the defendants were in possession of a por(on of the property by pu4ng a (n shed. However even if the said conten(on is found to be correct, the possession of a specific por(on by pu4ng a (n shed in itself does not prove the par((on. In view of the aforesaid facts and circumstances, this Court does not find any ground to interfere in the concurrent findings of facts as recorded by the Courts below, which are based upon proper apprecia(on of evidence on record. No ground to interfere. Dismissed.
