Versus
P. Shashi Kumar S/o Puttaswamy – Respondent
JUDGMENT :
H.P. SANDESH, J.
1. Heard the learned counsel for the appellant and also the learned counsel for the respondents.
2. The factual matrix of the case of the plaintiff before the Trial Court is that, this appellant is in permissive possession of the suit schedule property and though he agreed to quit and vacate the suit schedule property, he did not vacate the same. Hence, he was forced to file a suit for permanent injunction and mandatory injunction. The contents of the plaint is that the schedule property comprised of a house bearing Door No.1-S-21-1583 which is shown as schedule ‘B’ property in the plaint. The defendant was residing in the schedule ‘B’ premises prior to the execution of sale deed in favour of this plaintiff by way of permissive occupant under his erstwhile owner.

Mandatory injunctions require clear evidence of possession rights; mere claims of permissive possession undermined by admissions establishing tenant status.
A suit for permanent injunction is not maintainable when the defendant raises a genuine dispute regarding the plaintiff's title, and the plaintiff fails to prove lawful possession.

The main legal point established in the judgment is that a plaintiff cannot claim injunction against the true owner without lawful possession and title.
Concurrent findings established that ownership rests with the plaintiff based on a valid title deed while the defendant's claims of property ownership and legality of construction were unsupported.
