4. Pending the suit, I.A. No. 683 of 2019 was filed seeking injunction restraining the defendant from making constructions. The averments in the plaint were reiterated in the affidavit filed along with petition and contended that defendant is making construction.
5. Counter was filed by the defendant denying the title of the plaintiffs over the schedule property. It was contended interalia that plaintiffs failed to prove prima facie case, balance of convenience and irreparable loss. Defendant pleaded purchase of plot in his possession and also contended that late Papa Rao himself laid plots and sold one to his vendor and prayed the Court to dismiss the petition.
6. Trial Court by order dated 17.03.2020 granted temporary injunction restraining the respondent and her men not to raise any construction in south-east corner of plaint schedule property pending disposal of suit. Against the said order, C.M.A. No. 10 of 2020 was filed. Lower appellate Court by order dated 07.04.2022 allowed the appeal and dismissed I.A. No. 683 of 2019 in O.S. No. 2039 of 2019. Aggrieved by the same, the above revision is filed.
7. Heard Sri Sri Satyanarayana Dhara, learned counsel for petitioners and Sri K.V. Aditya Chowdary, learned counsel for respondent.
8. Learned counsel for the petitioners would submit that petitioners being owners of property proved prima facie case, balance of convenience and irreparable loss sine qua non for grant of injunction. Counsel further submits that Appellate Court without considering the material on record, allowed the appeal and dismissed the I.A. Counsel further submits that Appellate Court failed to consider partition deed of 1940 and thus, prayed the Court to set aside the order in CMA.
9. Learned counsel for respondent, on the other hand, supported the order of the lower appellate Court.
10. Now, the points for consideration are:
(2) Whether the plaintiffs proved prima-facie case, balance of convenience and irreparable loss for grant of injunction?
11. Suit O.S. No. 2039 of 2019 was filed for grant of perpetual injunction. Plain
