Magan S/o. Ramji Patel – Appellant
Versus
Ramji S/o. Daya Patel – Respondent
This judgment affirms that no injunction can be granted against a true owner of property, even if the applicant is in possession, especially if that possession is unlawful or as a trespasser. The court emphasized that the registered owner’s rights are paramount, and the mere possession of the plaintiff, if unlawful, does not warrant granting a temporary injunction.

The order was deemed lawful and well-reasoned, reinforcing the principle that ownership rights take precedence over unlawful possession or claims of joint contribution absent clear legal proof.
