R. VISWANATHAN vs RUKN-UL-MULK SYED ABDUL WAJID

The Supreme Court held that a foreign judgment is not binding if it violates the principles of natural justice, as per Section 13 of the Code of Civil Procedure, 1908. The Court found that the Mysore High Court's judgment was coram non judice due to bias, thus rendering it non-conclusive regarding the properties in Madras. The Court affirmed that the properties were joint family properties and Ramalingam lacked the authority to dispose of them by will, upholding the lower court's decree.
