1. The unsuccessful defendants in the suit are the appellants herein.
2. The plaintiffs filed the suit for the relief of declaration and permanent injunction, in respect of the suit property.
3. The case of the plaintiffs is that the suit property, which is a cultivable nanja land, bearing Old S.No.276, situated at Abisekarapuram Village, Trichy, originally belonged to one Late Mottaiyandi and he was in possession and enjoyment of the same till his death, i.e. on 28.03.1994.

Revenue records do not confer title or prove possession against commissioner report and admissions showing physical division by road and fencing; injunction suit maintainable on possession without de....
Possession established by parties through revenue documents prevails over contested ownership claims; mere sale deed insufficient to negate established rights.
A permanent injunction can be granted against a co-owner if the plaintiffs establish their possession and enjoyment of the property, despite the defendant's claims.
Possession follows title; entries in revenue records do not confer ownership. A suit for injunction is maintainable without seeking declaration of title when possession is established.
