Reported in: AIR1991Cal231,(1990)2CALLT277(HC),95CWN108

1. This appeal by the plaintiff/appellant involves only a short question of law as to whether a suit can be disposed of finally on the point of res judicata under Order 14, Rule 2, C.P.C. treating as a bar to the suit created by law under clause (b) of sub-rule (2) of Rule 2 of Order 14, C.P.C. After careful consideration, I have no hesitation to hold that when the facts are admitted, a question which has been decided fully and finally being an issue, directly and substantially, in the previous suit as in the present suit, it, no doubt, stands as a bar to the subsequent suit, and in that case, res judicata also operates as a bar to the suit created by law as contemplated under clause (b) of sub-rule (2) of Rule 2 of Order 14, C.P.C.2. To elucidate this point of law, let us refer to the facts of this case. The present suit, out of which this appeal arises, being Title Suit No. 166 of 1979 in the Second Court of Munsif, Jangipur has been brought by Laxmi Mani Dasi for declaration of her ...

Umesh Chandra Banerjee, J.1. The law in regard to the grant of interlocutory injunction is now well-settled. Lord Diplock's speech in American Cinamid's case (1975 : 1 All ER 504) and the decision of the Supreme Court in the case of United Commercial Bank v. Bank of India : [1981]3SCR300 as also of this Court in Damodar Valley Corporation's, case : AIR1978Cal489 go in the same vein and establish that only a prima facie case is needed at this juncture without even considering the chance of success at the time of the final disposal of the suit:-A reasonable or even a plausable case would be sufficient at this interlocutory stage., The decision, of this Court in the Calcutta Tramways Company's case : AIR1986Cal305 also lend support to the view expressed above. Similar is the position in law as regards the grant of quia timet injunction since the apprehended damage ought not to be allowed to continue and the Law Courts ought to intervene and interfere in a given case to prevent such an app...
