Possession follows title

Possession follows title, is a well-recognised one. It means that when a rightful owner is not in actual physical possession, he would, in the eye of the law, be deemed to be in possession. The benefit of such a presumption can accrue only in favour of a rightful owner and not in favour of a wrongdoer. The latter can acquire a title only by actual physical possession, Nagorao v. Jageshwar, AIR 1944 Nag 20: (1942) Nag LJ 375....

What it precludes is that where a principle of law has become established by a series of decisions, i...

Precedent, a decision is a precedent of its own features. Further, the enunciation of the reason or principle on which a question before a court has been decided is alone binding as a precedent, Uttaranchal Road Transport Corporation v. Mansaram Nainwal, (2000) 6 SCC 366.A precedent acquirers added authority from lapse of time, the longer a precedent has remained unquestioned, the more hard it becomes to reverse it. The courts has to adopt a construction of law, which would inevitably result in upsetting titles long founded on the contrary view, Pratap Bahadur Sahi v. Lakshmidhar Singh, AIR 1946 PC 189: 73 IA 231; Vijaya Charari v. Khubchand, AIR 1964 SC 1099.Precedent, are not an immutable dogma. Courts may evolve principles which are applicable to the facts involved in each case, Rumana Begum v.
