Shanker Lal vs Madan Lal on 24 February, 2014
(emphasis supplied)
In the above judgment besides scanning the entire law on
the subject, the principles laid down in the case of Sulochana
Amma v. Narayanan Nair : (1994) 2 SCC 14 that a plea decided
even in suit for injunction touching the title/status between the
same parties would operate as res judicata have been reiterated.
As such, the fact that the status of tenant claimed by appellant in
the previous suit for injunction having been negated by the
Court, the same would operate as res judicata in the present
suit.
