A simple suit for injunction is not maintainable when there is a dispute over title, and the plaintiffs must prove possession within the claimed boundaries.
In a suit for permanent injunction, the plaintiff must prove possession of the property as of the date of filing; failure to do so results in dismissal.
The court affirmed that in seeking an injunction over immovable property, examination of title is necessary if challenged by the opposing party.
