JUDGMENT
D. Dash, J.
The Appellant, by filing this Appeal under Section-100 of the Code of Civil Procedure, 1908 (for short, 'the Code'), has assailed the judgment and decree dated 26.12.2022 and 05.01.2023 respectively passed by the learned Additional District Judge, Kuchinda in R.F.A. No.07 of 2017.
The Respondent No.1 as the Plaintiff had filed the suit for declaration of his possessory title over the suit land and issuance of permanent injunction against the present Appellant (Defendant No.3) from entering into the suit land, constructing any house over there as also interfering in the peaceful possession of the Plaintiff over the same.
The suit having been decreed, this Appellant (Defendant No.3) having suffered from the same have carried the Appeal under section-96 of the Code, which has also been dismissed. Hence, the present Second Appeal.
2. For the sake of convenience, in order to avoid confusion and bring in clarity, the parties hereinafter have been referred to, as they have been arraigned in the Trial Court.
3. Plaintiff
Possession of immovable property cannot be transferred by mere oral gift, and a decree for permanent injunction cannot be granted without clear evidence of legal possession, especially when the state....
A person in settled possession is protected against forcible dispossession by the true owner without legal recourse, even if the title is disputed.
Where once a suit is held not maintainable, no relief of injunction can be granted.
A plaintiff must prove lawful possession of a property to succeed in a permanent injunction case; mere appearances in records are insufficient without corroborative evidence.
The law in India accords with the jurisprudential thought as propounded by Salmond, respecting possession even if there is no title to support it. Possession can only be resumed by the true owner in ....
The plaintiff must prove ownership outside any acquired land, and shifting the burden to the defendant is legally erroneous.
Question of title can be looked into in a suit for injunction unless same is very complicated – A person who is in settled possession cannot be dispossessed except in accordance with law.
A plaintiff must establish title to obtain consequential relief of injunction; mere possession is insufficient if title is denied.
