HC rejects claims over Jamia land
Putting an end to over three-decade-old litigation, the Delhi high court on Monday dismissed the plea of the legal heirs of three persons claiming ownership over some land belonging to Jamia Millia Islamia university.
“We find no merit in the appeals which are dismissed,” a division bench comprising Justices Pradeep Nandrajog and Suresh Kait said.
The bench rejected the plea of the legal heirs of Rustam, Mawasee and Shafique Hassan, who died during protracted legal battles, that the land belonged to them on the ground of “adverse possession” (legal doctrine which creates a right over the property on the ground of possession only). Justice Nandrajog said the claims on the land were an attempt to trespass and upheld the verdicts by a single-judge bench.
