JUDGMENT :
R. SAKTHIVEL, J.
1. Feeling aggrieved by the Judgment and Decree dated August 8, 2016, passed in O.S. No.54 of 2015 on the file of 'the II Additional District Court, Chidambaram' ('Trial Court' for short), the plaintiffs therein have filed this Appeal Suit under Section 96 read with Order XLI Rule 1 of the Code of Civil Procedure, 1908 praying to allow the Appeal, set aside the Judgment and Decree, and decree the Suit as prayed for in the plaint.
2. For the sake of convenience, henceforth, the parties to this Appeal Suit will be referred to as per their array in the Original Suit.
PLAINTIFFS' CASE

Ownership rights cannot exceed what is originally conveyed in property transactions, substantiating claims requires clear and convincing evidence.
The First Appellate Court correctly reversed the trial court's decree due to insufficient evidence from the plaintiffs to establish title over the suit property.
Claimants must provide valid title documents and evidence of ownership in property disputes; reliance on non-title documents like patta is insufficient.
A plaintiff must establish clear title and precise boundaries to maintain a suit for declaratory relief regarding property ownership.
