The 2nd appeal has been preferred against the confirming judgment.

The finalized Record of Rights (RoR) by consolidation authorities is binding, and civil courts cannot alter these determinations once established, reinforcing the plaintiff's title and possession.

Claiming adverse possession implies acknowledgment of the other party's title, and appellate courts must consider all evidence rather than rely solely on select reports.
A claim of title through adverse possession is inadmissible when a claimant asserts title through inheritance over the same property, as these claims are mutually exclusive.
A claim for title by adverse possession must be clearly pleaded with specific dates and evidence of denial of the true owner's title; mere long possession is insufficient.
Exclusive rights of ownership established through Bhogra Conversion Proceeding cannot be undermined by contradictory claims of adverse possession and inheritance by defendants.
A dismissal of an earlier suit without merit does not preclude subsequent claims; the plea of adverse possession admits the owner's title.
