JUDGMENT :
EASWARAN S., J.
The plaintiff in a suit for fixation of boundary with respect to the plaint A schedule property over the plaint B schedule property and also for an injunction, has come up with the present ap- peal. The brief facts necessary for the disposal of the appeal are as follows:
O.S. No. 1341 of 2009 is instituted before the Additional Munsiff Court - II, Thrissur on the allegation that the defendants are trying to trespass into the plaint B scheduled property which is set apart by Exts.

The court emphasized the importance of evidence in boundary disputes and affirmed the appellate court's findings which did not invite interference.
Appeals regarding property boundary fixation affirmed; evidentiary findings of lower courts upheld.
A trial court must ensure proper identification of property in boundary suits before issuing a dismissal, as prior failure shouldn't hinder justice.
