JUDGMENT :
H.P.SANDESH, J.
1. This matter is listed for admission. I have heard the counsel appearing for the appellants. This second appeal is also filed against the concurrent finding.
2. The factual matrix of the case of the plaintiff before the Trial Court is that, late Paddu Handthi and the defendants have been in possession and enjoyment of the land bearing Survey No.38/16.

Concurrent findings confirmed the plaintiff's ownership and possession rights over Site No.294, rejecting claims of boundary interference by defendants.
The court affirmed that a plaintiff with established possession is entitled to a permanent injunction against interference, supported by valid ownership documentation.
