Verified Answer
A. It is prima facie proof of property
B. It is good title against all who cannot show better title
C. Both (1) and (2)
D. None of the above

Explanation:

Section 5 of the Specific Relief Act, 1963, allows a person dispossessed of immovable property to recover possession. The concept of possession in this context implies that possession itself is prima facie proof of title and provides a good title against all who cannot show a better title. Therefore, both statements are true.
