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 previous suit between the same parties regarding the same 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 allowed the appeal, reinforcing the finality of judicial decisions.
