In the context of the Limitation Act, 1963, a defendant in a suit for recovery of possession of immovable property,
Answer and explanation
Correct answer B
Lawful title and adverse possession rest on opposing premises: adverse possession asserts hostile possession against someone else’s ownership. Karnataka Board of Wakf states that the pleas are mutually inconsistent and the adverse claim does not begin to operate until the former claim is renounced. A person cannot establish adverse possession merely by maintaining that the property has always lawfully been his own.
