A simpliciter suit for injunction is not maintainable if the title is disputed and possession is admitted, with the court's jurisdiction limited to the documents on record.
Courts must prioritize substantial justice over technical considerations and adopt a liberal view in deciding applications for limitation.
The court affirmed a liberal approach to condoning delays in legal filings, emphasizing justice over technicality, especially for short delays with sufficient justification.
Condonation of delay requires sufficient cause to be provided, and violation of a court order may impact the court's decision on delay condonation.
The court emphasized that filing documents at a belated stage would not prejudice either party and did not violate the Code of Civil Procedure.
Possession protects a party from dispossession without lawful authority, and agreements to sell cannot override established possession without clear evidence.
Appellate courts cannot interfere with factual findings established by lower courts unless substantial legal errors are demonstrated.
A suit for permanent injunction without a declaration of title is not maintainable, particularly where the title is disputed; plaintiffs must include both claims to ensure legal coherence.
