The First Appellate Court is required to provide a reasoned judgment addressing all issues, and failure to do so constitutes a ground for setting aside its decision.
A suit for injunction is not maintainable without a concurrent suit for declaration of title when ownership is disputed, emphasizing the necessity of primary evidence in possession claims.
The party asserting ownership must provide clear evidence of title and possession. Failure to do so resulted in the restoration of the trial court's dismissal of the plaintiffs' claims.
