JUDGMENT :
V. SRISHANANDA, J.
Heard learned counsel for both the parties.
2. Present appeal is filed by the defendant challenging the judgment passed in RA No.11/2019 in reversing the judgment passed in O.S.No.163/2017.
3. Facts in brief which are utmost necessary for disposal of the appeal are as under:
3.1. A suit for permanent injunction came to be filed by the plaintiff by contending that he is the owner in possession of the immovable property which is described as under and hereinafter referred to as suit schedule property:
Land bearing Sy.No.5/2 measuring 4 acres 14 guntas, assessed at Rs.8.52 paisa situated at Kongathimmanahalli village, Kasaba Hobli, Chinthamani Taluk is bounded as follows:
East by – Land of defendant
West by – Own land
North by – Sy.No.5/3 and 5/4
South by – Land of Krishnappa and Narayanappa.
3.2. Plaintiff further contended that he purchased the suit property from Sri.Venkat
Possession claims must be supported by legal documentation, and the court will uphold a modified claim that aligns with prior legal instruments, dismissing irrelevant disputes.
In claims for permanent injunction, the plaintiff must sufficiently prove exact boundaries of the property in dispute; failure to do so results in dismissal of the suit.
The law establishes that possession of property is sufficient for injunction relief, even in absence of title documents if ownership is admitted.
An individual can only convey as much land as they legally own, with revenue entries providing presumptive evidence but not definitive ownership against established deeds.
The court affirmed that the deceased's legal heirs retain ownership rights to family property, provided there is adequate evidence of succession and possession.
The appellate court upheld that lawful possession is essential for granting an injunction, and failure to establish this led to the dismissal of the plaintiff's appeal.
The court affirmed that a plaintiff with established possession is entitled to a permanent injunction against interference, supported by valid ownership documentation.
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.
The High Court confirmed that valid government grants prevail over disputed possession claims, emphasizing that reliance on erroneous previous reports constituted a reversible error.
Judgments in appeal can only be overturned when proved unjust; proper possession and legal title must be substantiated through evidence.
