Narayanaswami Udayan And Ors. vs Mannar on 30 July, 1929
16. If a suit brought on a specific lease is no bar to a subsequent suit brought to recover possession of the same properties based on the plaintiff's title as owner alleging the defendant to be a trespasser (as the decided cases amply establish), I fail to see how a prior suit based on a contract of trusteeship would bar a subsequent suit to recover possession of the same properties based on plaintiff's title as owner and treating the defendant as a mere trespasser. "The series of acts" or transactions " alleged to exist," giving rise to the reliefs claimed: (See Order 1, Rule 1, Civil P. C) are, I think, different in the two suits, and I am of opinion that "the subject matter" and "claim" in the two suits are different within the meaning of Order 23, Rule 1 (3), Civil P.C. I am supported in this view by the decisions of this Court reported in Surja Reddi v. Subba Reddi, Thrikaika Mudathil Raman v. Krishen Nair and Mangalathammal v. Virappa Goundan and as I understand the judgment, also by the decision in Mahomed Rowther v. Abdul Rahman.
