Respondent WITH CIVIL APPLICATION NO. 9556 OF 2009 Shri Ramesh S/o Jadu Padvi .. Applicant V E R S U S Smt. Rulabai Mahadu Padvi .. Respondent .... Mr.A.G.Magare,Advocate for appellant/ applicant. .... CORAM : A.V.NIRGUDE, J. DATE : 1st OCTOBER,2009. PER COURT : 1. Heard. 2. This second appeal challenges the judgment and decree passed by the learned Adhoc District Judge-1 Shahada in Civil Appeal No. 09 of 2000. The appellant was defendant in the trial court. The respondent filed the suit for recovery of possession of certain agricultural land. The respondent claimed that the land originally belonged to her husband and the appellant taking advantage of his friendship with her husband took possession of the same and unauthorisedly remained in possession. She stated that after the death of her husband she being 2 owner demanded possession. The appellant took defence that even prior to death of respondent’s husband he has been in possession of the suit land. He also asserted that since 1975 he has set up hostile title against the respondent and her husband. He, therefore, claimed that suit is barred by limitation and he acquired the title by adverse possession. He also asserted that respondent can not succeed to the property, after her husband’s death because Hindu Law on succession would not apply to “Bhilla Community”. Both these contentions were negated by the Courts below. The learned Judge of the Appellate Court held on facts that the appellant could not prove his possessions since 1975. He held that in view of revenue record, the appellant at the most could claim possession of the suit property since 1986. Even the question as to whether the respondent would succeed to the property after her husband’s death is dealt with properly. In view of this, I do not think there is any substantial question of law involve in this appeal. The appeal is therefore dismissed. Consequently, Civil Application No. 9556 of 2009 stands disposed of. ( A.V.NIRGUDE, J.) MTK/SA.647.09
