JUDGMENT :
These Second Appeals have been preferred as against the Common Judgment and Decrees passed by the Sub Judge, Sathyamangalam in A.S.Nos.31 and 32 of 2014 dated 15.07.2015.
3. The brief facts of the case in O.S.No.134 of 2011 are as follows:-
4. The brief averments of the written statement filed by the defendants 1 and 2 in O.S.No.134 of 2011 are as follows:-
5. Based on the above said pleadings, on hearing both sides, and on perusing the records, the trial court has framed the following issues for trial:-
2. Whether the plaintiff is entitled to decree for permanent injunction in respect of his possession?
4. To what other reliefs the plaintiff is entitled to?
The suit property belongs to the plaintiff and the suit property is house site with vacant land
A party can seek a permanent injunction without needing to declare title if there is no cloud over title and possession can be proved, even when facing encroachment claims.
Abandonment of an earlier suit without obtaining necessary permission under Order 23 Rule 1(4) CPC precludes the plaintiff from maintaining a subsequent suit on the same cause of action.
In property disputes, discrepancies between title deeds and TSLR reports favor the registered dimensions in determining ownership and encroachment, with physical possession reports being pivotal.
The duty of the First Appellate Court to record findings on all issues of law and facts, the admissibility of documentary evidence, and the application of res judicata.
The court affirmed that encroachment on public property negates claims of ownership and that plaintiffs must approach courts with transparent evidence.
The court upheld the plaintiff's claim of title to the suit property based on the defendant's admission and the failure of the trial court to adhere to the direction of the appellate court.
