Submission of counsel for the plaintiff appellant is that because of long possession of the plaintiff appellant over the land in dispute, he was entitled for injunction. Further submission of counsel for the appellant is that both the Courts below have failed to appreciate documentary as well as oral evidence in correct prospective. 11. 1 have gone through the record of the second appeal and further considered the aforesaid submission of counsel for the appellant. 12. On consideration of the submission of counsel for the appellant along with the findings of both the Courts below on issue No. I which is the main issue, this Court is of the view that withholding of the evidence available with the plaintiff i.e. the sale deed of the house and further his oral evidence wherein he has shown ignorance about the length of the house and measurement of the constructed part have rightly been considered by both the Courts below. The findings are correct and the same are concurrent findings of facts which require no interference in the second appeal. 13. No substantial question of law is involved in the appeal. The second appeal has no force and the same is, dismissed. *******
