Possession
Possession, correctly understood, means effective physical control or occupation. The word 'possession' is sometimes used inaccurately as synonymous with the right to possess, Gurucharan Singh v. Kamla Singh, (1976) 2 SCC 152.Possession, does not imply mere acts of the user, or of occupation alone, but the occupation must be with the intention of exercising some claim or right in respect of the property occupied. A person who has no claim to the property but succeeds by show of force in acquiring physical control over the same cannot be treated to be in its possession, notwith-standing his physical control over it, Ram Krishna v. Bhagwan Baksh Singh, (1961) All LJ 301.Possession, implies dominion and control and the consciousness in the mind of the person having dominion that he has it and can exercise it, Chhedi Ram v. Mahngoo Tiwari, 1969 All WR (HC) 230.Possession, in common parlance denoted to occupy, to have or hold as owner, to obtain, to maintain, Krishna Prasad Jaiswal v. Kanti...
Entry into possession
Entry into possession, does not use the word 'possession' or the words 'entry into possession, at any point of time at all. The section merely requires occupation of any public premises. Entry into possession connotes one single terminus, viz., the point of time when a person enters into possession or occupies the property whereas occupation is a continuous process which starts right from the point of time when the person enters into possession or occupies the premises and continues, until he leaves the premises. What is germane for the purpose of interpretation of s. 2(2)(g) is whether or not the person concerned was in occupation of the public premises when the Premises Act, was passed, Jain Ink. Mfg. Co. v. L.J.C., (1980) 4 SCC 435: AIR 1981 SC 670 (672). [Public Premises (Eviction of Unauthorized Occupants) Act, 1971, s. 2(2)(g)]...
