📚 Legal Learning – Res Judicata Applies at Different Stages of the Same Proceeding
🔍 Did You Know?
The principle of res judicata applies not only to separate proceedings but also to different stages within the same proceeding.
🧾 Key Takeaways:
✅ Once a court has passed an order after due inquiry—such as impleading a legal heir under Order XXII CPC—it cannot be challenged later under Order I Rule 10 CPC.
✅ If no objection or revision was filed against the earlier order, the matter attains finality.
✅ Any subsequent challenge becomes barred under the principle of constructive res judicata, as explained under Explanation IV to Section 11 CPC.
✅ The Supreme Court reaffirmed that res judicata ensures finality and prevents repeated litigation on the same issue at any later stage.
📌 Legal Insight:
Even within the same suit, once an issue is decided and not challenged at the appropriate time, it cannot be reopened later. This ensures judicial discipline and prevents misuse of process.
