A5, the plaintiffs would have endeavoured to examine the neighbouring land owners to evidence their claim of enjoying the suit well as put forth by them. Furthermore, when the defendants are not owning any properties to the west of the suit well and when the plaintiffs' lands described in the plaint 'B' schedule are found to be lying to the south of the lake channel, the case of the plaintiffs that the channel exists from the suit well to the lands described in the 'B' schedule, as such, cannot at all be countenanced particularly in the absence of any materials or plan projected by the plaintiffs pointing to the same. As rightly held by the trial court, when the defendants are not owning the properties to the west of the suit well, the case of the plaintiffs that the defendants had obliterated the channel lying to the west of the suit well, as such, cannot at all be believed and accepted. The plaintiffs have only examined P.W.2 and considering the close relationship between the plaintiffs and P.W.2 and when it is found that P.W.2 also having admitted that no channel exists between the lake channel and the plaintiffs lands described in the plaint 'B' schedule, the case of the plaintiffs that the defendants have obliterated the alleged channel, cannot at all be believed and accepted in any manner. If really, the defendants had obliterated the channel, as rightly held by the trial court, the plaintiffs would have endeavoured to lodge a police complaint against the defendants. Considering the evidence of P.W.1, as adduced during the course of cross examination, it is found that the suit well is only in the possession and the enjoyment of Palanisamy Mudaliar and his sons, the defendants, and it is the defendants who had been irrigating their lands from the suit well by installing an electric motor and therefore, the case of the plaintiffs that they had been drawing water from the suit well through oil engine for irrigating their lands described in the plaint 'B' schedule, as such, cannot be believed and accepted particularly in the absence of any reliable proof pointing to the same.
