In Brief
In this appeal, the Court examined whether a suit for adverse possession was barred by res judicata. The appellant's wife had previously filed and lost a suit claiming inheritance to the same property. The appellant then filed his own suit claiming adverse possession. Both the High Court and the First Appellate Court found the suit barred by res judicata. The Supreme Court upheld their concurrent findings, finding no ground to interfere. The Court dismissed the appeal while noting the litigation had been unnecessarily protracted over four decades.
