Judgments in appeal can only be overturned when proved unjust; proper possession and legal title must be substantiated through evidence.
Possession of property relies on clear evidence and prior grants must establish rightful owner; failure to prove boundaries and title leads to dismissal of claims.
In actions for injunctions, plaintiffs must demonstrate lawful possession and seek a declaration of title when ownership is disputed; failure to do so renders the suit unmaintainable.
A party claiming property possession must substantiate their claims with credible evidence; failing to do so results in dismissal of claims.
A plaintiff must prove lawful possession to claim an injunction, and reliance on revenue records alone is insufficient to establish ownership of property.
The plaintiff must prove ownership outside any acquired land, and shifting the burden to the defendant is legally erroneous.
A plaintiff with lawful possession can seek an injunction against interference, and if ownership is disputed, they may need to prove title in a suit for declaration alongside injunction.
A plaintiff with clear title and possession can seek an injunction against interference, even in the face of disputed title, provided they substantiate their claims with appropriate evidence.
