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 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.
In property disputes, possession follows title; plaintiffs established a prima facie case warranting temporary injunction despite defendants' claims.
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.
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.
The court affirmed that a plaintiff with established possession is entitled to a permanent injunction against interference, supported by valid ownership documentation.
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 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.
