JUDGMENT :
M.G.UMA, J.
1. The plaintiff in OS.No.425/1995 on the file of the learned Civil Judge (Jr.Dn.), Hosakote (hereinafter referred as to 'Trial Court'), is impugning the judgment and decree dated 03.03.2009 passed in RA.No.5/2004 on the file of the learned Presiding Officer, Fast Track Court-III, Bangalore Rural District (hereinafter referred as to 'First Appellate Court') allowing the appeal by setting aside the judgment and decree passed by the Trial Court dated 02.12.2003, consequently, dismissing the

A suit for injunction can be maintained without a declaration of title if the plaintiff can establish possession, and the appellate court erred in reversing the trial court's finding of possession.
Possession on the date of filing a suit is essential for granting a permanent injunction; the First Appellate Court findings on possession were upheld as correct.
Possession follows title; entries in revenue records do not confer ownership. A suit for injunction is maintainable without seeking declaration of title when possession is established.
A suit for permanent injunction is not maintainable when the defendant raises a genuine dispute regarding the plaintiff's title, and the plaintiff fails to prove lawful possession.
