JUDGMENT :
HANCHATE SANJEEVKUMAR, J.
The plaintiff being aggrieved by the dismissal order passed on I.A.Nos.1 and 2 in O.S.No.43/2024 dated 29.10.2024 by the Principal Senior Civil Judge & JMFC., Anekal, filed for grant of temporary injunction restraining the defendant from interfering with the peaceful possession and enjoyment of the plaintiff with respect to the suit schedule property and restraining the defendant from putting up any kind of construction towards Northern side of the suit schedule property.

In property disputes involving conflicting claims, the court must evaluate the evidence presented to determine the balance of convenience and the necessity for a trial to resolve ownership issues.
The court reaffirmed that a permanent injunction regarding immovable property can be granted based on established possession and ownership, despite contesting claims, underscoring the significance of....
