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) based on Section 13 CPC. The Court clarified that the determination of whether a foreign judgment is conclusive 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.
