A plaintiff seeking a permanent injunction must prove both title and settled possession, failing which the claim may be dismissed.

A suit for permanent injunction requires proof of possession; if title is disputed, a declaratory suit is necessary, and failure to include necessary parties renders the suit untenable.
Long possession without clear evidence of hostile intent does not equate to adverse possession, and permissive possession cannot turn adverse without communication of hostility.
In a suit for injunction, the plaintiff must establish prima facie title or possession; failure to do so results in dismissal of the suit.
A declaration of property ownership requires establishing possession; without it, claims regarding related deeds are insufficient.
