Kaur v. Bachan Sinch Sarkar J. 1957 November, 19 · 962 SUPREME COURT REPORTS [1958] date of Bhau Nath Singh's death, or the date of the widows' taking possession, which seems to have been at or shortly after his death." As there is no evidence of any arrangement with the respondents on the death of Ram Ditta and has continued ever since. So at the date of the mortgage and gift, Harnam Kaur had acquired a title to the lands by adverse posses­ sion. The respondents' claim must fail. We, therefore, allow the appeal with costs through­ out. Appeal allowed. SASH! MOHAN
