In both the above second appeals, one A. Munuswami is the appellant and one R. Sethuraman is the sole respondent. Two suits were filed on the file of the II Additional Subordinate Judge, Tiruchirapalli, one by the respondent namely, O.S. No. 93 of 1982 and the other by the appellant namely, O.S. 213 of 1982. O.S. No. 93 of 1982 is for a declaration that the respondent is the owner of the suit property and for recovery of possession of the same from the appellant. There was also a claim for rent or damages for use and occupation. O. S. No. 213 of 1982 is for a permanent injunction to restrain the respondent from interfering with the appellant's possession of the very same property. For the purpose of convenience I will refer to the parties Munuswami as the appellant and Sethuraman as the respondent. The second appeals have been argued at length and I am of the opinion that it will be convenient to refer to the pleadings and the documents filed in the case before referring to the judgments of the Courts below as well as the arguments advanced on behalf of the parties.
