Which of the following is true under the theory of ‘Adverse possession’?

Select one answer
Answer and explanation

Correct answer D

Prolonged adverse possession can confer title when the legal requirements are met. Section 27 of the Limitation Act, 1963 extinguishes the owner's right when the period for bringing a suit for possession expires. For a title-based claim to immovable property under Article 65 of the Schedule, time runs from when the defendant's possession becomes adverse, so mere occupation with the owner's permission is insufficient.
