Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the High Court's dismissal of appeals based on res judicata, affirming that the plaintiffs failed to establish their title to the land in question across three suits. The Court reiterated that the principle of res judicata applies when the same issue has been previously adjudicated, thus barring re-litigation. The Court confirmed the findings of the trial court that the plaintiffs were not entitled to any relief regarding the land in Survey Nos. 9, 49, and 50, as they could not prove their claims.
