Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed the issue of whether the suit filed by the appellants was barred by res judicata. The court found that the trial court's direction to frame a preliminary issue on this matter was appropriate, as it is essential to determine if the current suit is precluded by previous judgments. The appeal was thus upheld, allowing the trial court to proceed with the necessary preliminary issues.
