JUDGMENT :
UMESH M. ADIGA, J.
Both these appeals arise out of judgment and decree dated 16.06.2012 passed by the Senior Civil Judge and JMFC., Channapattana, District Ramanagar, which arose out of judgment and decree dated 30.11.2009, passed by the Court of Additional Civil Judge, Channapatna, in OS.No.98/2005. The suit was filed seeking the relief of permanent injunction. The Trial Court dismissed the suit, and the First Appellate Court confirmed the said judgment and decree.
2. RSA No.1324/2012 is filed by the plaintiff and RSA No.1762/2012 is filed by defendant No.1. Hence, both the appeals are taken up together for disposal.
3. For the sake
The court affirmed that mere possession claims based on panchayat records without substantive proof do not establish legal ownership, emphasizing the necessity of lawful possession documentation.
Possession claims require adequate documentation; absence of evidence for acquisition invalidates the defendant's title, affirming the plaintiffs' rights based on a registered sale deed.
Possession follows title, and the concept of possession in law was crucial in determining the ownership and possession of the disputed property.
Trespassers cannot obtain an injunction against true owners without proving identifiable rights in the property.
