6 Important Bombay High Court Judgments dated 11 January 2019

Government Premises (Eviction) Act, 1955 (Bombay) - S. 7 - Unauthorized Occupation of the Premises - the act of the Corporation in accepting charges from the petitioner would not result in automatic renewal of licence in favour of the petitioner. The charges were accepted by the ­Corporation towards unauthorized occupation of the premises in question by the petitioner. The licence could be said to have been renewed only, if an agreement had been executed in favour of the petitioner by the ­Corporation on terms that were agreeable to both the parties. The facts of the present case show that no such event occurred and there was no document on record to show that the licence of the petitioner was ever renewed. The findings rendered by the Court below regarding the possession of the petitioner being unauthorized are correct and therefore, it is found that there is no substance in the present Writ Petition. Shri Shyam Ramapati Pandey v.

Presumptions are the Bats of the Law, Flitting in the Twilight, but Disappearing in the Sunshine of Actual Facts [ORDER]

Negotiable Instruments Act, 1881 -  Section 138 -  failure on the part of the complainant to produce his account statement and absence of entry in accounts maintained by him regarding loan advanced to the accused, does show that there was no material to support the basic facts on which the entire case of the complainant was based. Sufficient material was available on record    whereby the defence of the accused became probable. In such a situation, the presumption under the provisions of the Act ceased to operate and the burden fell upon the complainant to prove his case, which he failed to do by placing on record cogent evidence.

August 07, 2019 Limitation Act, 1963 - Article 65 - Adverse Possession - Plea of acquisition of title by adverse possession can be taken by plaintiff under Article 65 of the Limitation Act and there is no bar under the Limitation Act, 1963 to sue on aforesaid basis in case of infringement of any rights of a plaintiff. A person in possession cannot be ousted by another person except by due procedure of law and once 12 years' period of adverse possession is over, even owner's right to eject him is lost and the possessory owner acquires right, title and interest possessed by the outgoing person/owner as the case may be against whom he has prescribed. In our opinion, consequence is that once the right, title or interest is acquired it can be used as a sword by the plaintiff as well...
