JUDGMENT :
V. GOPALA KRISHNA RAO, J.
1. This second appeal is filed aggrieved against the Judgment and decree dated 24.01.2015 in A.S.No.147 of 2012 on the file of learned I Additional Senior Civil Judge, Kakinada, East Godavari District, confirming the Judgment and decree dated 25.08.2011 in O.S.No.645 of 2004 on the file of learned II Additional Junior Civil Judge, Kakinada, East Godavari District.

In disputes involving conflicting title claims, a suit for permanent injunction is not maintainable without a concurrent declaration of title, reaffirmed by the necessity of evidencing lawful possess....
The suit for injunction is not maintainable when the title of the plaintiff is under a cloud, requiring a declaration of title for proper adjudication.
