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.

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.

Suit filed for perpetual injunction by plaintiff, when there is cloud over title is not maintainable.
A suit for permanent injunction, without seeking a declaration of title, is not maintainable when ownership is disputed; a comprehensive claim is required to address possession and title.
To secure a permanent injunction, a plaintiff must establish lawful possession at the time of filing; mere historical claims without current evidence are insufficient.
The main legal point established in the judgment is that a plaintiff cannot claim injunction against the true owner without lawful possession and title.
