(ORAL)\n<\/pre>\n<p id=\"p_1\">             By way of this regular second appeal the State of Punjab<\/p>\n<p>challenges the judgment and decree dated 2.1.2008 and 6.8.2008 passed by<\/p>\n<p>the learned Courts below by claiming that the following substantial question<\/p>\n<p>of law arises for consideration by this Court :-<\/p>\n<blockquote id=\"blockquote_1\"><p>             1.    Whether the respondent-plaintiff is entitled to possession<br \/>\n                   of the suit land ?<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p id=\"p_1\">\n<p id=\"p_2\">             The respondent-plaintiff brought a suit for possession of land<\/p>\n<p>measuring 2 kanals bearing khasra No. 33 R\/3 and 33 R\/9 situated in the<\/p>\n<p>village Phulpiara Tehsil Pathankot District Gurdaspur on the basis of<\/p>\n<p>ownership and title. It was claimed by the plaintiff that the appellants-State<\/p>\n<p>has illegally raised construction on the land belonging to the plaintiff. The<\/p>\n<p>plaintiff-respondent claimed to be co-sharer in possession of land measuring<br \/>\n<span class=\"hidden_text\" id=\"span_1\"> R.S.A. No. 3959 of 2008                                                2<\/span><\/p>\n<p>40 Kanas 13 Marlas.\n<\/p>\n<p id=\"p_3\">              The notice issued under Section 80 of the Code of Civil<\/p>\n<p>Procedure was not replied to by the State.\n<\/p>\n<p id=\"p_4\">              The suit was contested, on the plea that plaintiff had not come<\/p>\n<p>to the Court with clean hands. It was also claimed that the road over the<\/p>\n<p>land in dispute was constructed about 20 years ago, and at that time the<\/p>\n<p>plaintiff did not raise any objection, qua the encroachment of land. It was<\/p>\n<p>also the case of the appellant-State that the suit had been filed to claim<\/p>\n<p>compensation by considering the State to be soft target.<\/p>\n<p id=\"p_5\">              On the pleadings of the parties, the learned trial Court pleased<\/p>\n<p>to frame the following issues :-\n<\/p>\n<blockquote id=\"blockquote_1\"><p>                1. Whether the plaintiff is entitled for possession of the suit<\/p>\n<p>                    land ? OPP<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<blockquote id=\"blockquote_2\"><p>                2. Whether the suit of the plaintiff is not maintainable ?<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<blockquote id=\"blockquote_3\"><p>                    OPD<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<blockquote id=\"blockquote_4\"><p>                3. Whether the plaintiff has not come to Court with clean<\/p>\n<p>                    hands ? OPD<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<blockquote id=\"blockquote_5\"><p>                4. Relief.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p id=\"p_6\">\n<p id=\"p_7\">              The learned Courts below on appreciation of evidence brought<\/p>\n<p>on record and also keeping in view the admission made by the witnesses of<\/p>\n<p>the defendant-State held that the plaintiff was owner of the land in dispute,<\/p>\n<p>thus, entitled to seek possession, as no limitation is prescribed for seeking<\/p>\n<p>possession ,on the basis of title.\n<\/p>\n<p id=\"p_8\">              The issue No.3 was also decided against the appellant-<\/p>\n<p>defendants.\n<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"hidden_text\" id=\"span_1\"> R.S.A. No. 3959 of 2008                                                 3<\/span><\/p>\n<p id=\"p_9\">\n<p id=\"p_10\">             Though, no plea of adverse possession was taken in the written<\/p>\n<p>statement. However, in the arguments the appellant claimed to have become<\/p>\n<p>owner by way of adverse possession.\n<\/p>\n<p id=\"p_11\">             The plea raised was rightly rejected as plea was also raised that<\/p>\n<p>the suit was time barred. It is well settled law that State cannot claim to have<\/p>\n<p>become owner by way of adverse possession.\n<\/p>\n<p id=\"p_12\">             The learned Courts below also held that there is no limitation<\/p>\n<p>prescribed for claiming possession on the basis of title, thus, issue of<\/p>\n<p>limitation was also decided against appellant.<\/p>\n<p id=\"p_13\">             The learned counsel for the appellant vehemently contends that<\/p>\n<p>the claim of the respondent \/ plaintiff was belated and, therefore, was not<\/p>\n<p>maintainable. In support of this contention he has placed reliance on the<\/p>\n<p>judgment of the Hon&#8217;ble Supreme Court in the case of U.P. State Road<\/p>\n<p>Transport Corporation Vs. Babu Ram 2006(3) S.C.T. 486.<\/p>\n<p id=\"p_14\">             The plea of the learned counsel for the State is totally<\/p>\n<p>misconceived. The Hon&#8217;ble Supreme Court, in the case referred to above,<\/p>\n<p>was dealing with the claim by an employee against the State. It was in that<\/p>\n<p>event that the Hon&#8217;ble Supreme Court was pleased to lay down that the<\/p>\n<p>belated claim cannot be entertained.\n<\/p>\n<p id=\"p_15\">             However, in the present case the State wanted to usurp the<\/p>\n<p>property of citizen, without following process of law. The plea of the State,<\/p>\n<p>that the suit was to be dismissed being belated, cannot be accepted. The<\/p>\n<p>suits are governed by law of Limitation. No limitation is prescribed for<\/p>\n<p>claiming possession by owner on the basis of title.<\/p>\n<p id=\"p_16\">             The substantial question of law as claimed does not arise for<br \/>\n<span class=\"hidden_text\" id=\"span_2\"> R.S.A.
