Versus
Amudhavalli – Respondent
JUDGMENT :
M. JOTHIRAMAN, J.
The instant second appeal has been filed at the instance of the plaintiff. The respondent herein is the defendant before the trial Court.
2. For the sake of convenience, the parties will be referred to according to their litigative status before the trial Court.
The brief facts which give raise to the instant second appeal are as follows:
3. The plaintiff filed the suit for permanent injunction restraining the defendant and his men, servants and agents from interfering with the possession and enjoyment of the property. It is stated that the property originally belongs to the Government and the plaintiff's forefathers occupied the land and constructed the house and they were in possession and enjoyment of the property. Originally the plaintiff's grandmother Maruthayeeammal was in possession and enjoyment of the property and the said Maruthayeeammal died 29 years back and after the death of the Maruthayeeammal, the plaintiff's father succeeded and was in possession and enjoyment of the property and now the plaintiff is in possession and enjoyment of the property. For their enjoyment, Tahsildar, Rasipuram had issued patta vide patta No.226 in S.No.22/2 and the

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.
In a suit for injunction, the burden lies on the plaintiffs to prove prima facie case, balance of convenience, and irreparable loss, failing which the appeal may be dismissed.
A suit for permanent injunction is not maintainable when the defendant raises a genuine dispute regarding the plaintiff's title, and the plaintiff fails to prove lawful possession.
The plaintiff must prove lawful possession to obtain a permanent injunction; mere possession without title is insufficient.
In a suit for permanent injunction, if the plaintiff establishes title, a reasonable presumption of lawful possession can be drawn. The defendant's challenge to the title must be examined to determin....
Possession on the date of filing a suit is essential for granting a permanent injunction; the First Appellate Court findings on possession were upheld as correct.
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.
