Adverse possession is that form of possession or occupancy of land which is inconsistent with the title of any person to whom the land rightfully belongs and tends to extinguish that person's title, see (English) Real Property Limitation Act, 1874 (37 & 38 Vict. c. 57), which provides that no person shall make an entry or distress, or bring an action to recover any land or rent, but within twelve years next after the time when the right first accrued, and does away with the doctrine of adverse possession, except in the cases provided for by s. 15.

The scope of this rationale does not, however, extend to cover the class of cases where gratuitous passengers for whom no insurance policy was envisaged, and for whom no insurance premium was paid, employed the goods vehicle as a medium of conveyance, National Insurance Co. Ltd. v. Baljit Kaur, (2004) 2 SCC 1 (5): AIR 2004 SC 1340. [Motor Vehicles Act, s. 147(1)(b) (as amended in 1994)]The expression 'any person' can be restricted to those on the managerial or administrative staff only.
