Arjun Singh vs Mohindra Kumar & Ors on 13 December, 1963
11. The Division Bench placed reliance on Arjun Singh v. Mohindra Kumar
and others[1] and came to hold that when the second application for
leave was filed, there was no change in the circumstances and in the
absence of any changed circumstances, the second application for leave
was not maintainable as it was barred by principles of res judicata
being a successive application in the same court on self-same facts.
It was further opined that it is open to the appellant to file an
application for review or to file an appeal against the said order and
as long as the said order remained alive, a fresh application could
not have been entertained by the learned Company Judge. To interpret
the term “grant of liberty” the Division Bench held that on the basis
of the grant of liberty the case could not have been reopened.
