Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the decision of the Division Bench of the Madras High Court, which had set aside the Single Judge's dismissal of a suit under Order VII Rule 11 of the Code of Civil Procedure (CPC). The Court clarified that the determination of whether a foreign judgment is conclusive under Section 13 CPC should occur at the conclusion of the trial, not at the threshold. Consequently, the appeals were dismissed, allowing the suit to proceed on its merits.
