Decided On : 29-10-2025

Advocates:
Advocate Appeared:
For the Appellant :  T.S. ANAND

The court upheld the trial court's decision to grant a temporary injunction to protect possession pending trial, emphasizing the importance of documentary evidence in property disputes.

Headnote:(A) Constitution of India - Article 227 - Civil Revision Petition for setting aside the order of lower appellate court which reversed the grant of temporary injunction by the trial court - The petitioner sought injunction against interference in possession of land purchased - No documentary evidence was produced by respondent to substantiate claims - The trial court granted injunction based on prima facie observations - The appellate court failed to consider documentary evidence supporting petitioner’s claims - Temporary injunction revived. (Paras 11, 21, 22)

(B) Injunction - Grant of temporary injunction when prima facie case and balance of convenience are in favor - If denial of possession leads to irreparable loss, equity favors granting relief. (Paras 11, 22)

Facts of the case:
The petitioner purchased land and sought injunction against respondent’s interference claiming peaceful possession. Respondents contested that the petitioner sold parts of the land claimed.

Findings of Court:
The trial court found a prima facie case favoring the petitioner especially in light of inadequate evidence from the respondents to counter the claims of ownership or possession.

Issues: Whether the trial court’s findings on possession required appellate intervention, and if the order for injunction was justified based on available evidence.

Ratio Decidendi: The trial court’s decision was upheld as just and based on the documentary evidence, establishing ownership and possession, while the appellate court's dismissal was found erroneous for neglecting vital documents.

Result: The CRP is allowed setting aside the lower appellate court's order and reviving the injunction required for the petitioner’s protection.
