I accept the evidence and find the Plaintiff to be owners of the respective plots. An order of permanent injunction shall issue restraining the Defendant, his agents, employees and/or servants from constructing and/or entering and/or erecting and/or erecting a building on the said plots. The Plaintiffs as owners of the plots are entitled to possession, occupation, quiet enjoyment and use of the same.
