In Brief
A writ petition dismissed by the High Court on merits after full hearing creates a binding judgment that precludes the filing of successive writ petitions on the same subject matter. The Court upheld the High Court's dismissal of a second writ petition concerning the same notification, holding that once a writ petition has been decided on merits with reasoned judgment, a party cannot file another petition raising new grounds to circumvent the doctrine of res judicata. The appeal was dismissed with costs.
