https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=398600 A challenge to a registered sale deed as sham, nominal, or benami requires strict proof, because a duly executed registered instrument carries a presumption of genuineness; the plaintiff failed to rebut that presumption, and the attack on later conveyances failed. A plea of adverse possession must be supported by clear pleadings and evidence showing the date of hostile possession, its continuity, exclusivity, and the owner's knowledge; those requirements were not met, so the plea failed.
