The Supreme Court ruled that under Section 10 of the Code of Civil Procedure, 1908, the trial of the later suit must be stayed when two suits arise from the same transaction, as they involve substantially identical parties and issues. The Court emphasized the importance of avoiding conflicting decrees and unnecessary duplication of evidence. Consequently, the Court ordered the transfer of the suit filed by the Dealer in Delhi to Nashik, where the first suit was filed, to ensure expediency in the interests of justice.
