The appellant himself is in possession of land of his share since 1976 therefore, suit filed on 8-8-1995 is clearly barred by limitation. As per statement of the respondents and the document D/3 which is gift-deed, it is established that 29 acres of land was gifted to Motilal by Ramsurat and again gifted 27acres of land to Jawaharlal Jayawal as per document D/1 in the year 1955 and the said land was recorded in the name of Motilala Jayaswal and Jawaharlal Jayaswal .
