Abstract: Human life would be virtually next to impossible without the concepts of possession and ownership and hence every legal system strives to protect the concepts. The concept of ownership is regarded as a complex of rights that is why it is often stated that ownership is bundle of rights, as various rights are included in the rights of ownership. Ownership includes even the right to destroy or alienate the property. The concept of possession is a factual and a legal concept. The factual possession is the prima-facie evidence of possession. The concept of possession also includes various rights with the exception of possessing a legal title and hence possession is considered to be nine points in law. The subject matter as well as the various types of ownership and possession are dealt here in.
