Possession is prima facie evidence of title of ownership. Hence

Possession is prima facie evidence of title, and where adverse possession continues openly and uninterruptedly for the statutory period (twelve years under Article 65 of the Limitation Act, 1963), Section 27 of that Act extinguishes the true owner's title, so "Long adverse possession confers title even to a property which originally belonged to another". It is not true that "In all cases possession leads to ownership", since only adverse possession for the prescribed period does so.
