Co-Sharer's Forcible Ouster Cannot Establish Hostile Possession for Adverse Possession | Limitation Act : HP HC

The Himachal Pradesh High Court upheld the First Appellate Court's reversal of an adverse possession decree, ruling that a co-sharer's forcible ouster cannot satisfy the 'peaceful possession' requirement under the Limitation Act. The court also found the claimants' reliance on unproven wills and absence of documentary evidence fatal to their case.
