AANAIMUTHU THEVAR (DEAD) BY LRS. vs ALAGAMMAL .

The Supreme Court addressed the issue of res judicata under Section 11 of the Code of Civil Procedure in the context of two cross suits regarding property title. The Court upheld the High Court's ruling that the earlier judgment in OS No. 843/74, which involved a mortgage dispute, operates as res judicata, thereby dismissing the appellant's suit and decreeing the respondents' cross suit. The Court emphasized that the findings in the previous suit were binding and conclusive on the parties involved.
