Har Narayan Tewari (D) Thr. Lrs vs Cantonment Board,Ramgarh Cantonm

The Supreme Court addressed the issue of res judicata in the context of Title Suit No.9/89, where the plaintiff-appellant claimed title and possession over certain lands. The Court held that the earlier decision in Title Suit No.8/64, where the plaintiff was a defendant, barred the current suit under the principle of res judicata as per Section 11 of the Code of Civil Procedure, 1908. The appeal was dismissed, affirming the lower court's ruling that the plaintiff-appellant's claims were not valid due to the previous judgment.
