  • Plaintiff's Proof of Title and Possession - The courts consistently emphasized that proving possession is essential for granting injunctions, even if ownership or title is disputed. Several cases (e.g., IND_HC_KLHC010394291997, INDKAR00000158955) clarified that possession, rather than title alone, is a key criterion for injunction relief. However, courts also noted that mere title does not automatically entitle the plaintiff to an injunction if possession is not established (e.g., INDMAD00000154572, INDKER00000005580).

  • Proving Possession as a Prerequisite - Courts have held that legal possession must be demonstrated for injunctions to be granted. For example, in IND_HC_KLHC010394291997, the court affirmed that an injunction could be issued if the plaintiff proves legal possession, regardless of title disputes. Conversely, failure to prove possession leads to denial of injunctions (e.g., IND_HC_KLHC010288211995, INDKAR00000158955).

  • Title and Ownership Disputes - When ownership is contested or not sufficiently proven, courts tend to deny injunctions, especially mandatory ones. In cases like 01500058675 and INDKER00000005580, the courts found that the plaintiff failed to establish clear title or ownership, leading to the refusal of injunctions.

  • Injunctions in Specific Contexts - Some cases involve injunctions related to auction, interference, or boundary disputes. For instance, in INDKAR00000002404, the court granted an injunction to prevent interference despite lack of clear title, emphasizing possession preservation. In contrast, in the case involving a mining company (00900077514), the injunction was set aside due to insufficient evidence of title.

  • Discretion and Legal Principles - The courts have cautioned against granting injunctions solely based on title when possession is not proved, and have highlighted the discretionary nature of such relief. The principle that injunction cannot be granted against the true owner remains valid unless the plaintiff demonstrates possession (e.g., INDMAD00000154572).

Analysis and Conclusion:
The overarching principle across the cited cases is that a plaintiff must prove possession to obtain an injunction. Title or ownership alone is insufficient unless possession is also established. When the plaintiff fails to prove possession, injunctions are generally denied, regardless of claims to title. The courts tend to be cautious in granting injunctions without clear proof of possession, emphasizing the importance of actual control over the property rather than mere ownership rights. Therefore, in the present case, the plaintiff could not prove title or possession, leading to the court's decision not to grant an injunction.
