JUDGMENT :
H. P. SANDESH, J.
1. This matter is listed for admission. Heard the learned counsel for the appellants.
2. This second appeal is filed against the concurrent finding.
3. The factual matrix of the case of the plaintiff before the Trial Court in O.S.No.65/2019 while seeking the relief of permanent injunction, it is contended that the plaintiff is in possession of the suit schedule property as on the date of suit. It is further contended that ‘A’ schedule property is the house property bearing Sl.No.221, assessment No.219/19-19 measuring 18.5 x 14.5 yards, situated at Kariganuru Village, Channagiri Taluk, Davanagere District. The plaintiff also described the suit ‘B’ property as mud road, situated towards the north of the suit schedule ‘A’ property and the defendants’ house.

Documentary evidence prevails over oral claims in property disputes; adverse possession must be substantiated by valid evidence.
Possession established through admissions is sufficient for granting permanent injunction against unlawful interference.
Concurrent findings confirmed the plaintiff's ownership and possession rights over Site No.294, rejecting claims of boundary interference by defendants.
The main legal point established in the judgment is that the possession follows title, and in cases of vacant property, the person able to establish title is considered to be in possession. The court....
To secure a permanent injunction, a plaintiff must establish lawful possession at the time of filing; mere historical claims without current evidence are insufficient.
