HC rejects claim over govt. land reserved for public purpose
The Hindu
‘No occupier can acquire title by adverse possession of land’
No occupier could acquire title of a waterbody or any land reserved for public purposes despite being in adverse possession of it beyond the statutory period of 30 years, observed the Madurai Bench of the Madras High Court.
The court was hearing a second appeal preferred by Thankappan, who had filed an original suit before the Additional District Munsif Court, Padmanabhapuram, Kanniyakumari district, in 1992 for declaration of title and permanent injunction for 40 cents of land.
