In Brief
The respondent purchased agricultural land in Telangana and sought a declaration of ownership and injunction to prevent the petitioner from interfering with his possession. The trial court dismissed the interim injunction application, but the High Court reversed the decision, granting interim protection based on the respondent's possession shown by revenue records and a Section 38E certificate held by his predecessor. The petitioner's argument that the respondent's prior suit by the vendor had been withdrawn, thus barring the current suit, was rejected. The Supreme Court dismissed the special leave petition, holding that the respondent, having acquired independent title through registered sale and revenue mutations, was entitled to interim injunction protection.
