Respondent-plaintiff Pirthi filed suit against appellants-defendants for permanent injunction alleging that plaintiff is owner in possession of the suit land, but the defendants threatened to interfere in his ownership and possession thereof, although defendants have no right, title or interest in the suit land. Accordingly, plaintiff sought injunction against the defendants from doing so.
