Dear All,
Does Res-judicata apply even if the prayer is different than that in the previous civil suit filed before the same City Civil court, even though the averments are the same?
Suit 1 filed in 2010: Civil Suit filed to ‘Not to alienate the property.’
Parties involved. Estranged wife vs me.
Order: Suit dismissed in 2013 in my favor as self-earned property allowing me to deal with it in any manner.
Subsequently property settled in mother's name.
Suit 2 filed in 2014: Filed by Estranged wife ‘To make the settlement deed null and void.’
Parties involved: Estranged wife versus me and my mother with same averments.
Thanks
