24.In the case of Shri Ajit Chopra v. Shri Sadhu Ram and others reported in (1999) 9 Supreme 297 the Hon'ble Supreme Court has observed as follows:

?29.But after Raghunath Singh and Ors. Vs. Hansraj Kunwar and Ors. ( 1934 ILR (56) All. 561) was decided by the Privy Council, Vedapuratti stood impliedly overruled. Their Lordships held in that case that when execution of a decree for redemption was allowed to get barred, a fresh suit would lie. The important principle laid down by Lord Russell of Killowen in regard to the right to redeem was that the "right was not barred by res judicata". It meant that the Full Bench case in Vedapuratti which overruled Kutti Ali was no longer good law. This position became clear when a similar question arose before a Full Bench of the Madras High Court in Viroopakshan Vs. Chambu Nayar and Ors. (1937 ILR Mad. 545). That was again a case of a second suit for redemption, the execution in the first suit having become barred.
