P. DHANABAL, J.
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.
2. The appellant in both the Second Appeals has filed a suit in O.S.No.134 of 2011 as against the respondent in S.A.No.975 of 2015 and respondents 1 to 4 in S.A.No.974 of 2015 for the relief of declaration and permanent injunction and the respondent in S.A.No.975 of 2015 and 1st respondent in S.A.No.974 of 2015 has filed the suit against the appellant herein before the trial court in O.S.No.281 of 2011 for the relief of permanent injunction in respect of the suit property therein. The trial court has decreed the suit filed by the appellant [O.S.No.134 of 2011] and
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.
Plaintiffs must specifically identify encroached property to effectively claim recovery of possession.
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.
