THIS APPEAL, COMING ON FOR ADMISSION, THIS DAY, JUDGMENT WAS DELIVERED THEREIN AS UNDER: CORAM: HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE ANANT RAMANATH HEGDE ORAL JUDGMENT This appeal is against the concurrent finding in a suit for declaration and injunction. The suit is dismissed. Both the Trial Court and First Appellate Court have rejected the plaintiffs' contention that the plaintiffs are the owners of the suit schedule property by way of adverse possession. 2. Learned counsel appearing for the plaintiffs/appellants would submit that plaintiffs/appellants had filed a suit in O.S. No.127/2001. The said suit is decreed holding that the plaintiffs/appellants shall not be dispossessed from suit schedule property without due process of law. Thus, he would urge that the suit could not be dismissed. - 3 - HC-KAR NC: 2025:KHC:40293 RSA No. 472 of 2018 3. Learned counsel for the respondents/defendants would urge that plaintiffs in the cross-examination admitted that they had filed a suit in O.S. No.127/2001 without having any right. 4. On going through the records and going through the judgments and decrees passed by the Trial Court and First Appellate Court, it is noticed that both the Courts have concurrently held that the plaintiffs have not established adverse possession over the property. 5. In addition to that, this Court in O.S. No.127/2001 itself would indicate that the plaintiffs can be in possession of suit property till they are evicted in due process of law. 6. Since it is stated that the defendants/respondents have filed a suit for possession to claim possession of the properties, no substantial question of law would arise in the present case. - 4 - HC-KAR NC: 2025:KHC:40293 RSA No. 472 of 2018 Accordingly, appeal is dismissed.
