3.
Learned counsel on the specific question put by this Court specifically submits that the judgment of the Hon'ble Apex Court was not brought to the notice of this Court, while arguing the appeal.
4. Be that as it may, it is again noticed that the petitioners before this Court have claimed adverse possession in respect of property bearing Door No.3- 108(2) against the respondents. The claim of adverse possession was given up before the Trial Court, though a specific issue was framed in this behalf. This Court has passed a decree for eviction against the petitioners in this petition.
5.
Learned counsel for petitioners submits that he does not admit his status as the tenant of respondents of this petition. This being the position, the position of the petitioners is that of a trespasser.
6. It is also submitted that after the disposal of the appeal, the petitioner is evicted pursuant to the decree

HC-KAR NC: 2025:KHC:27163 RP No. 384 of 2018 passed by this Court. It is also submitted that counsel for the respondent could not argue the matter when the Regular Second Appeal was heard on merits.
7. The petitioners are not claiming the right over the property by way of adverse possession and it is also noticed that the notice was duly served on the respondents, in the Second Appeal.
8. After considering the fact that the petitioners have given up their claim of adverse possession and have not claimed the status as a tenant or a licensee, nothing remains to be considered or adjudicated against. This court does not find any error in the judgment and decree under Review.
9. Hence, the petition is dismissed.
10. Applications, if any, pending stand dismissed. Sd/- (ANANT RAMANATH HEGDE) JUDGE RJ/List No.: 1 Sl No.: 25
