Some time later, that was divided between them. The undivided ½ share in the suit property was allotted to their father Muthusamy. It was enjoyed by him along with his co-sharer Pachaiyappa Pillai. The share of Muthusamy Pillai was brought under Court auction purusant to the decree passed in O.S.No.1021 of 1973. Pachaiyappa Pillai has purchased ½ share of Muthusamy Pillai through court auction dated 02.01.1974. Later, Pachaiyappa Pillai and his son Govindaraj sold the property to the plaintiff Krishnasamy Pillai vide, sale deed dated 02.11.1976. Till 1980, it was jointly enjoyed by the plaintiff and his father. In 1980, an oral partition was effected between Muthusamy Pillai and his sons the plaintiffKrishnasamy Pillai and the first defendant-Jayaraman. The undivided half share of the suit property was allotted to the plaintiff and from that day onwards, the plaintiff is in possession and enjoyment of the suit property and also paying tax. Thus, the plaintiff being in possession and enjoyment of the entire suit property for more than 25 years, by purchase as well as by continuous enjoyment he has perfected the title over the property. The first defendant has stealthily inserted the survey number of the suit property in the patta issued in his name. Taking advantage of it, the defendants are trying to interfere with the possession and enjoyment of the suit property. Hence, suit for declaration and injunction was filed.
