JUDGMENT :
ASHOK S. KINAGI, J.
The Appellant filed this Regular Second Appeal challenging the judgment and decree dated 18.02.2014 passed in RA No.49 of 2010 by the learned Fast Track Court, Mandya ('First Appellate Court' for short).
2. For convenience, the parties are referred to based on their rankings before the Trial Court, [OS No.227 of 2006 on the file of Principal Civil Judge and JMFC, Mandya]. The appellant was the plaintiff and the respondent was the defendant.
3. Brief facts leading rise to the filing of this appeal are as follows:
3.1. The plaintiff filed a suit against the defendant for the relief of permanent injunction. It is the case of the plaintiff that, the plaintiff is the absolute owner in possession of the regarding the property bearing Survey No.141 measuring 5 acres 14 guntas, situated at Shiv
In actions for injunctions, plaintiffs must demonstrate lawful possession and seek a declaration of title when ownership is disputed; failure to do so renders the suit unmaintainable.
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.
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.
Possession of property is protected by law, and a party must be evicted through due process, as established in permanent injunction suits.
Possession established through admissions is sufficient for granting permanent injunction against unlawful interference.
Suit filed for perpetual injunction by plaintiff, when there is cloud over title is not maintainable.
Ownership of immovable property cannot be established through an unregistered sale deed, which is inadmissible in evidence under the Indian Registration Act, affirming that possession follows title.
In a suit for injunction, the burden lies on the plaintiffs to prove prima facie case, balance of convenience, and irreparable loss, failing which the appeal may be dismissed.
In a suit for injunction, failure to specifically deny property description constitutes an admission, supporting the plaintiff's established possession based on a valid Will.
