2. For convenience, the parties are referred to, based on their rankings before the trial Court. The appellant was defendant No.2, respondent No.1 was plaintiff No.2, and respondent No.2 was defendant No.1.

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.
Unregistered relinquishment deeds cannot establish ownership, and adverse possession claims require clear proof of exclusive possession and continuity which the plaintiff failed to provide.
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.
