Order 39 CPC | Settled Possession + Stamp Duty Discrepancy Establishes Prima Facie Fraud to Grant Injunction: Chhattisgarh HC

The Chhattisgarh High Court held that mere registration of a sale deed cannot override evidence of settled possession and material stamp duty underreporting, which together reveal fraudulent misrepresentation of property extent. This ruling empowers plaintiffs in property disputes to secure interim relief without waiting for full trial, reinforcing that procedural formality cannot mask substantive fraud.
