The court found neither claimant proved uninterrupted, exclusive possession for the requisite period; the evidence showed village elders paid rents as a protective arrangement for registered owners rather than to confer occupation rights, and the claimants' evidence was vague and uncorroborated. Therefore neither the plaintiff nor the 3rd defendant succeeded in establishing adverse possession, and both claims fail.
