The Bombay High Court has ruled that long-standing or affectionate possession by a caretaker, without any legal title or lease, cannot justify an injunction against the true owner. Possession must be surrendered upon demand, reinforcing that mere physical control does not equate to lawful right under property law - a critical clarification for landlords, property managers, and tenants in urban disputes.

Bombay High Court rules that trial courts must base interim relief in property disputes on verified surveys, not speculative diagrams. The Court directed the City Survey Officer to measure the disputed land within two weeks, emphasizing evidence-based adjudication.

Sikkim High Court ruled that the state's attempt to acquire property without valid legal documentation violates Article 300A, granting an injunction to prevent irreparable harm to a family's sole residence.
