Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed the issue of res judicata in the context of a property dispute involving the Jamia Masjid and the State Wakf Board. The court upheld the lower courts' decisions that the appellant's suit was barred by res judicata due to previous similar suits. Consequently, the appeal was dismissed, affirming the principle that once a matter has been conclusively decided, it cannot be re-litigated.
