JUDGMENT :
R.N.MANJULA, J.
This Second Appeal has been filed to set aside judgment and decree of the learned Additional District Judge (Fast Track Judge-II), Cuddalore dated 31.03.2011, passed in A.S.No.1 of 2003, dismissing the appeal and confirming the judgment and decree of the learned Subordinate Judge of Panruti in O.S.No.275 of 1996 dated 23.08.2000.
2. Heard Mr.R.Gururaj, learned counsel for the appellants, Mrs.J.Hemalatha Gajapathy, learned Standing Counsel for R1 to R4 and perused the materials available on record.
3. The appellants are the defendants 1 and 2.

Legal heirs maintain ownership rights against claims of adverse possession if defendants' assertions conflict with prior admissions regarding property title.
Courts cannot entertain claims of adverse possession when ownership is established by a valid title deed, and any agreements contradicting that ownership must be substantiated legally.
The maintainability of a suit seeking to declare a relinquishment deed as null and void depends on the establishment of title and possession, irrespective of challenges to the plaintiff's standing.
A plaintiff seeking a permanent injunction must prove both title and settled possession, failing which the claim may be dismissed.
The High Court's review in appeals under Section 100 of the CPC is limited to substantial questions of law; it cannot re-assess factual findings or interfere with the first appellate court's discreti....
A will must be proved in accordance with the Evidence Act, particularly through attestors, to establish title in property disputes.
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 plaintiff must establish a jural relationship of landlord-tenant to claim possession; failure to prove tenancy and title leads to dismissal of eviction suits.
Admission of title by defendant implies no need for proof; non-joinder fatal to declaration but not injunction; adverse possession unproved fails.
