Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court held that in a suit for permanent injunction, the burden of proof lies on the plaintiffs to establish their exclusive possession of the property under dispute. The Court emphasized that mere possession does not confer ownership, and the plaintiffs must demonstrate a superior title to succeed. The appeal was allowed, setting aside the lower court's injunction order, as the plaintiffs failed to prove their exclusive possession and title over the suit property.
