JUDGMENT :
SACHIN SHANKAR MAGADUM, J.
These two captioned appeals are taken together though the decree arises out of two independent suits but common question is involved and both the sites are part and parcel of Sy.No.19/6, over which defendant Nos.1 and 2 are asserting title.
2. The facts leading to the case are as under:
The plaintiffs in O.S.Nos.258/2008 and 257/2008 instituted suits for injunction simpliciter in respect of Site Nos.56 and 54 respectively, carved out of Sy.No.19/6 situated at Basavanapura Village, K.R. Puram Hobli, measuring East–West 40 feet and North–South 30 feet. The plaintiffs assert possession on the strength of registered sale deeds executed by the GPA Holder through original owner, Chowramma. It is specifically pleaded that Sy.No.19/6 was acquired by Chowramma under registered sale deeds dated 17.12.1955 and
Injunction suits focus on possession rather than title; the trial court correctly emphasized possession while reserving title disputes for a comprehensive suit.
Unregistered agreements and powers of attorney do not confer legal title or possession; valid title and identification of property are essential to establish claims in injunction suits.
In a suit for injunction simpliciter, the court cannot adjudicate title without necessary pleadings and issues; possession is the primary concern.
Civil Suit - Suit for injunction and declaration - Nature of claims made by both the parties against each others, the issue of possession cannot be decided without conducting an inquiry as to issue o....
The court upheld the validity of the plaintiff's ownership and lawful possession based on a gift deed, granting a permanent injunction despite the defendants' claims and pending civil appeal.
In injunction suits, establishing possession suffices; title issues arise when challenged by defendants claiming rights, thus not necessitating formal title proof by plaintiffs.
