<h1>**Supreme Court clarifies 'held' means possession backed by legal title, not mere physical occupation**</h1> The word 'hold' or 'held' in legal context, particularly regarding land, has wide import and encompasses both ownership and possession. Courts have consistently interpreted 'held' to mean possession backed by legal title or lawful right. Various dictionary definitions support this interpretation, with 'hold' meaning to possess by legal title, be owner/holder/tenant, or maintain ownership/use rights. The term connotes possession with underlying legal authority rather than mere physical occupation. Supreme Court precedents establish that 'held' requires some form of legal backing or title, distinguishing it from simple possession without legal foundation.
