KEWAL SINGH vs LAJWANTI

The Supreme Court addressed the applicability of Order II Rule 2 of the Code of Civil Procedure (C.P.C.) regarding the deletion and subsequent re-inclusion of a cause of action in eviction proceedings under the Delhi Rent Control Act. The Court held that the principle of constructive res judicata applies, thereby barring the re-inclusion of a cause of action that had previously been withdrawn. The Court upheld the eviction order against the appellant, affirming the decisions of the Rent Controller and the Delhi High Court.
