POSSESSION LAWS:

Possession is one of the most important concepts in society. In the legal world, possession is evidence of ownership. Anyone who wants to dispossess someone must prove either a title or related lawful right. Possession is regarded as good as ownership on the defensive. If a person is in adverse possession of a property for 12 or more years, he became the legal owner of that property and the right of the original owner is extinguished.

Possession is divided into two categories.

(i) Possession is actual or physical possession. It is physical relation to a thing. This simply denoted the physical capacity of a person who had the thing within his control to deal with it as he liked to the exclusion of everyone else.

(ii) Possession in Law: means possession in the eye of law. It means a possession that is recognized and protected by law. Law wanted to give possession, or the right to exercise a claim to the exclusive control of a thing, and along with it all the other advantages and rights which were closely associated with the idea of possession or physical control, even to a person, who had no actual physical control over it.
