Section — 88

Possession by agent
— Title in the suit land passed to the plaintiff-respondent by absolute sale whereupon the vendor appellant No. 2 possessed it as an agent of the respondent. Respondent, therefore, is in possession of the land leaving no scope for the agent to possess the land adversely against the principal. It is true that the agency terminated in 1972 but the agent continued in possession. His possession is in fact possession as a trustee of the owner, principal, in respect of property against whom he did not put up any claim of title until a few months before the filing of the suit. As an agent and trustee of the principal he was under an obligation to vacate the possession.
