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...

See Nepean v. Doe, (1837) 2 M. & W. 910.Possession is not held to be adverse if it can be referred to a lawful title, Doe v. Bightwen, 10 East 583; Wall v. Stanwick, 34 Ch D 763. Non-adverse possession is of two kinds. The title of the dispossessed may not be paramount, as in the case of a leasehold term when dispossession of the lessee is not necessarily inconsistent with the reversioner's rights, and secondly, the person setting up disposse...
