Mohan Lal vs Nihal Singh

The Supreme Court upheld the lower courts' decisions, confirming that the plaintiff, who held a registered lease for 99 years, was entitled to a permanent injunction against the defendant from dispossessing him from the suit land. The Court found that the defendant's claim of the lease being a mere paper transaction was unsubstantiated, as the plaintiff's possession was established through documentary evidence. The Court reiterated that a suit for injunction is maintainable even if the plaintiff is not in actual physical possession at the time of filing, provided there is evidence of prior possession.
