JUDGMENT :
EASWARAN S., J.
1. This appeal arises out of the judgment and decree in O.S.No.402/1999 on the files of Munsiff Court, Attingal and A.S.No.129/2005 on the files of Sub Court, Attingal.
2. The brief facts necessary for the disposal of the appeal are as follows:
2.1. The plaintiff/1st respondent is a company represented by its Director Ramaswamy Sekhar. The plaintiff/1st respondent herein sued the defendant/appellant herein in a suit for permanent prohibitory injunction restraining the appellant from trespassing into the plaint schedule property together with his men. The case of the plaintiff is that the plaintiff is in absolute possession of Item Nos.1 and 2 of the plaint schedule property by virtue of Title Deed No.268/1993.

A plaintiff must provide evidence of current possession to succeed in a suit for injunction, and failure to do so results in dismissal. Mandatory injunctions are not appropriate for cases solely seek....
A plaintiff must establish title to obtain consequential relief of injunction; mere possession is insufficient if title is denied.
Consequential relief of injunction cannot be granted if the substantive relief of title is denied, even if possession is established.
In a suit for injunction simpliciter, only possession needs to be established, and the question of title must be addressed in a separate comprehensive suit.
Possession and proper identification of property are essential prerequisites for granting a prohibitory injunction in property disputes.
The appellate court exceeded its jurisdiction by modifying injunction terms without a title claim being made in the original suit.
A person in settled possession is protected against forcible dispossession by the true owner without legal recourse, even if the title is disputed.
Question of title can be looked into in a suit for injunction unless same is very complicated – A person who is in settled possession cannot be dispossessed except in accordance with law.
A party seeking an injunction must establish title and prove possession; mere reliance on external reports is insufficient.
