Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court held that the principles of res judicata, waiver, and estoppel bar a party from raising an issue that has already been settled in a prior suit involving the same parties and subject matter. The Court affirmed the High Court's decision that the respondent could not re-agitate the issue of interpolation in the lease deed renewal clause, as she had previously given it up. Consequently, the Court ruled in favor of the appellants, upholding the application of these legal principles to prevent the respondent from raising the same issue in a different suit.
