Issues:
1. Dismissal of suit for permanent injunction due to failure to prove title and possession. 2. Appeal filed in High Court without clear findings on possession and title. 3. Lack of findings by High Court on facts and law, leading to a cryptic order. 4. Decision of the Supreme Court to set aside the High Court judgment and remit the matter back for fresh consideration. 5. Direction for expeditious disposal of the appeal by the High Court. 6. Continuation of interim stay granted by High Court. 7. Dismissal of both Interlocutory Applications. Analysis: 1. The plaintiff filed a suit seeking a permanent injunction against the defendant from interfering with his possession of a property in Bangalore. The trial court dismissed the suit citing the plaintiff's failure to prove title, possession, and doubts about the property's identity. 2. Aggrieved by the trial court's decision, the plaintiff filed an appeal in the High Court. However, the High Court failed to provide clear findings on the plaintiff's possession and title. The High Court abruptly concluded in favor of the plaintiff without proper evaluation of evidence. 3. The Supreme Court highlighted that a first appeal must be decided on both facts and law. Parties have the right to be heard on all issues, and the appellate court must address all aspects before reaching a decision. In this case, the High Court's order lacked reasoning and failed to address the crucial issues adequately. 4. Due to the deficiencies in the High Court's judgment, the Supreme Court accepted the appeal, set aside the High Court's decision, and remitted the matter back for fresh consideration. The Supreme Court referenced a previous case to emphasize the importance of thorough examination in first appeals. 5. The Supreme Court directed the Registry to send the case back to the High Court promptly and urged the High Court to dispose of the appeal expeditiously, considering the appeal's age from 1990. 6. The interim stay granted by the High Court during the appeal process was ordered to continue until the appeal's final disposal, with the possibility of variation upon application by either party. 7. Finally, the Supreme Court dismissed both Interlocutory Applications as they were deemed irrelevant in light of the appeal's remittal for fresh consideration by the High Court.
