Mallavva vs Kalsammanavara Kalamma (Since Dead) By ... is a Supreme Court of India decision dated December 20, 2024 (citation: insc-2024-1021). The Supreme Court dismissed the appeal in a property dispute concerning declaration of title and recovery of possession of ancestral land in Karnataka.

The Court held that the limitation period of three years (for cancellation of sale deed) applies rather than twelve years (for recovery of possession), as the cancellation was the substantive relief. The bench comprised Justices J.B. Pardiwala and R. Mahadevan. The judgment was delivered by Justice J.B. Pardiwala.
