HANCHATE SANJEEVKUMAR, J.
The appeal is filed by the defendant Nos.1 to 4 questioning the order dated 06.03.2025 passed by the Court of III Addl. City Civil and Sessions Judge (CCH-25) at Bengaluru in O.S.No.1351/2025 on I.A.No.1 filed under Order XXXIX Rule 1 and 2 of CPC, thereby, the application filed for temporary injunction is allowed restraining the defendants from changing the nature of suit schedule property or from putting up construction in the suit schedule property.
2. The plaintiffs have filed the suit for declaration to declare that the plaintiffs are the owners of the suit schedule property and also sought for relief of mandatory injunction to remove the encroachment caused by the defendants over the suit schedule 'B' property, which is coming within the suit schedule ‘A’ property and for consequential relief of permanent injunction.
3. Also, the plaintiffs filed an application for temporary injunction and the trial court considering the observation made in O.S.No.1470/2017 that the BDA has issued an endorsement that 33 guntas of land in Sy.No.18/7B is not included in the said layout which is approved by the BDA, formed an opinion that BDA has not approved the
The court upheld the trial court's decision to grant a temporary injunction based on the plaintiffs' prima facie case regarding land ownership amidst conflicting BDA endorsements.
The court emphasized the necessity of evidence for a prima facie case in injunction requests, ruling against the plaintiffs due to established acquisition by defendants.
A plaintiff must demonstrate a prima facie case, balance of convenience, and potential hardship to obtain a temporary injunction under Order XXXIX Rules 1 and 2 of CPC.
The main legal point established in the judgment is that a suit for bare injunction cannot be maintained when the property was acquired, and subsequent construction by the plaintiff cannot be protect....
In property disputes involving conflicting claims, the court must evaluate the evidence presented to determine the balance of convenience and the necessity for a trial to resolve ownership issues.
The court affirmed that a plaintiff with established possession is entitled to a permanent injunction against interference, supported by valid ownership documentation.
A plaintiff with lawful possession can seek an injunction against interference, and if ownership is disputed, they may need to prove title in a suit for declaration alongside injunction.
A party seeking a temporary injunction must establish lawful possession, a prima facie case, balance of convenience, and irreparable injury.
In property disputes, possession follows title; plaintiffs established a prima facie case warranting temporary injunction despite defendants' claims.
A plaintiff with clear title and possession can seek an injunction against interference, even in the face of disputed title, provided they substantiate their claims with appropriate evidence.
