Wjthoutobtaining possession, the plaintiff has succeeded in execution of sale dee.d in his favour, even thereafter, he hasnot obtained possession from Makhanlal and Makhanlal has not delivered possession to the appellant herein, even it was not possible or him to deliver such possession. The appellant herein has filed suit in the year 1990 after lapse of thirty years of such dispossession by fhe respondents i.e. before the alleged,, acquisitionof title. 7. Definitely, as per Article SOOAof the Cpnstitution of India, no person shall be deprived of his property save by authority of law, but in the present case, before the alleged acquisition of property, the seller has been disppssessed by the respondents and the seller has executed sale deed without transferring possession. The plajntiff has also not filed any suit forpossessionagainsttheiselleroragainsttherespondentshereinwithin, twelve years. Definitely, after twelve years of such dispossession, especially in the light of construction of huge number of buildings oyer the suit property since 1960 which shows the nature 6f possession i.e. adverse to the plaintiff and his alleged predecessor-in-title, the suit was barred by limitation. 8. As held by the Supreme Court in the matterof Karam Kapahi (supra), decree may be passed on'the basis of admjssion. In the present case,, the respondents have admitted possession and have also pleaded and proved the fact that they are in possession since last thirty years. Therefore, the suitwas time barred. The case of Karam Kapahi (supra) \ is distinguishableon facts to that ofthe present case; ;t 9. In the present case, the respondents have perfected their title by adverse possession. For the foregoing reasons, the trial Court has rightly dismissed the suit filed on behalf of the plaintiff and same has been rightly affirmed bythe lower appellate Court. lO.Consequently, the appeal is dismissed, at the admission stage itself.
