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....

But these works were not adapted to the purposes of elementary instruction, and the writings of the ancient jurists were no longer allowed to have any authority, except so far as they had been incorporated in the digest, Smith's Dict. of Antiq. It was therefore necessary to prepare an elementary treatise, and the Institutes were published a month before the Pandects, A.D. 533, and designed as an elementary introduction to legal study (legum cunabula). The work was divided into four books, subdivided into titles.The Institutes are the elements of the Roman Law, and were composed at the command of the Emperor Justinian, by Trebonian, Dorotheus, and The ophilus, who took them from the writings of the ancient lawyers, and chiefly from those of Gaius especially from his Institutes and his books called Aureorum (i.e., of important matters).The Institutes are divided into four...
