This appeal arises out of an order passed by the Addl. District<br \/>\nJudge dated 05.08.2010whereby the Addl. District judge has allowed an<br \/>\napplication filed by the respondents under Section 11 of CPC and<br \/>\ndismissed the Probate petition No 319\/06 filed by the appellant under<br \/>\nSection 276 of Indian Succession Act seeking probate of the will dated<br \/>\n02.04.1998 holding that the issue had already been decided by the said<br \/>\nCourt in petition No 318\/06 in which the parties were same and<br \/>\ntherefore the Court cannot try the same issue again being hit by Section<br \/>\n11 of CPC.\n<\/p>\n<p>2.     Briefly stated the facts of the case are that two Probate Petitions<br \/>\nwere filed in relation to two wills alleged to have been executed by late<br \/>\nSmt. Neerta Devi on two different dates, Probate Petition No 318\/06<br \/>\nwas filed by the respondents seeking probate of the will dated<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"hidden_text\">FAO 448\/2010                                                  Page 1 of 6<\/span><br \/>\n 22.08.1994 and Probate Petition 319\/06 was filed by appellant seeking<br \/>\nprobate of the Will dated 02.04.1998. In the Probate Petition 319\/06<br \/>\nevidence of appellant was closed, he took no further steps to recall the<br \/>\norder for leading evidence. Meanwhile the other connected matter i.e<br \/>\npetition No 318\/06 filed by the respondents was decided in favour of<br \/>\nthe respondents.\n<\/p>\n<p>3.     The appellants who were arrayed as respondents in the aforesaid<br \/>\nprobate petition raised objections to the grant of probate to the will<br \/>\ndated 22.08.1994 by alleging that the said will was a forged and<br \/>\nfabricated one and the testatrix has executed another will dated<br \/>\n2.4.1998 propounded by them. However, to prove that Will no evidence<br \/>\nwas led by them. In the said probate petition, the Additional District<br \/>\nJudge after going through the statement of the witnesses particularly<br \/>\nthe attesting witness i.e PW 3 came to the conclusion that the will<br \/>\ndated 22.08.1994 was validly executed by the testatrix and as there was<br \/>\nno evidence led by the appellant. It was held that no other will was<br \/>\nexecuted by the same testatrix. The issue was thus decided in favour of<br \/>\nrespondent. The appellant aggrieved by that order of the Ld. ADJ<br \/>\nchallenged it before this Court in FAO 276\/2010.\n<\/p>\n<p>4.     Before this Court also appellant reiterated the same objections<br \/>\ntaken before the Ld. ADJ but had brought nothing on record to show as<br \/>\nto what happened to the second probate petition filed by the appellants<br \/>\nin relation to the second will which had been propounded by the<br \/>\nappellants as the last and final will of the testatrix. This court made<br \/>\nfollowing observations in an order dated 20.10.2010:-\n<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>               &#8220;Learned counsel for the appellant states that the<br \/>\n               probate petition filed by them with respect to the<br \/>\n               will dated 02.04.1998 bearing No.233\/1999 has<br \/>\n               been dismissed by the ADJ vide the impugned<br \/>\n               order which is the subject matter of the present<br \/>\n               appeal. As such now no such petition is pending. In<br \/>\n               fact, on account of dismissal of the suit and the<br \/>\n               appeal having not been filed, the Court<br \/>\n               can presume that the appellants are not interested<br \/>\n               in revival of their probate petition which is the only<br \/>\n               defence taken by them in this appeal. It<br \/>\n               may, however, be observed that they intend to file<br \/>\n               an appeal against the order dismissing their<br \/>\n               probate petition .&#8221;<br \/>\n<span class=\"hidden_text\">FAO 448\/2010                                                    Page 2 of 6<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote><p> 5      This court also observed that:-\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<blockquote><p>               15. In any event the appellants having not brought on<br \/>\n               record the second will which they state was the last and<br \/>\n               final will of deceased Nerta Devi and failed to prove the<br \/>\n               said Will they cannot now question the probate of<br \/>\n               registered will left by late Smt. Nerta Devi. It many a<br \/>\n               times happens for various reasons that Will are<br \/>\n               executed in favour of persons who are not the legal heirs<br \/>\n               of the deceased. As such it cannot be a good reason to<br \/>\n               discard the Will of the deceased executed in favour of<br \/>\n               the respondent only because the appellants who are the<br \/>\n               sons of the deceased have not been made the<br \/>\n               beneficiary.\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<blockquote><p>               17. Accordingly, I find no reason to interfere with the<br \/>\n               judgment of the Addl. District Judge. The appeal is<br \/>\n               dismissed at this stage itself with no orders as to cost.&#8221;\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>6.     Before the passing of the aforesaid order in FAO No.276\/2010 by<br \/>\nthis Court, and after having won in the court of the ADJ, the<br \/>\nrespondents also moved an application under Section 11 of CPC in the<br \/>\nProbate Petition No 319\/06 which was heard by                the Addl. District<br \/>\njudge and was allowed vide an order dated 05.08.2010 holding that the<br \/>\nprobate petition No 319\/06 is barred by the principles of Res Judicata.<br \/>\nAppellant aggrieved by this order of the ADJ has again filed an appeal<br \/>\nbefore this Court. The relevant extract of the order of the ADJ is<br \/>\nobserved here as under:-\n<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>        &#8220;Applicant Bhudev Prasad had filed a petition U\/s 276 of<br \/>\n        the Act seeking probate of a Will allegedly executed by<br \/>\n        the same Testatrix, in his favour on 22.08.1994, which<br \/>\n        has been decided by this Court vide its order \/Judgment<br \/>\n        dated 25.03.2010.\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<blockquote><p>         It is submitted by Ld.

Due to said reason, present<br \/>\n        petition is hit by principles of res-judicata. Ld. Counsel<br \/>\n        took me through judgment of said case, where following<br \/>\n        was observed by the Court.\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<blockquote><p>               &#8220;From the statements of PW1&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;. And<br \/>\n               other witnesses particularly attesting witness<br \/>\n<span class=\"hidden_text\">FAO 448\/2010                                                        Page 3 of 6<\/span><br \/>\n                i.e. PW3 it is proved that Will in question was<br \/>\n               validly executed by the testatrix in her sound<br \/>\n               and disposing mind. On the other hand, it is<br \/>\n               not proved that any other Will was also<br \/>\n               executed by the same testatrix.&#8221;\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/blockquote>\n<blockquote><p>        It is not denied that the present petitioner was also a<br \/>\n        party in said case being an objector. Section 11 of CPC<br \/>\n        bars the court from trying any suit of issue in which the<br \/>\n        matter directly and substantially in issue has been<br \/>\n        directly and substantially in issue in a former suit<br \/>\n        between the same parties or between parties under<br \/>\n        whom they or any of them claim, litigating under the<br \/>\n        same title, in a court competent to try such subsequent<br \/>\n        suit or the suit which such issue has been substantially<br \/>\n        raised, and has been heard and finally decided by such<br \/>\n        Court.\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<blockquote><p>         As mentioned above, it is not disputed by the petitioner<br \/>\n        that parties in both case are same and aforementioned<br \/>\n        petition was decided by the said Court and same was<br \/>\n        competent to try petition in hands i.e subsequent suit.\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<blockquote><p>         On the basis of above discussion, in my opinion, this<br \/>\n        court cannot try same issue again being hit by Section<br \/>\n        11 of CPC. Application is thus allowed<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>7.      I have heard the submissions of the appellant, who contends<br \/>\nthat at the time of filing of the present probate petition, the matter of<br \/>\nthe earlier probate case No. 318\/06 had not attained finality and was<br \/>\nstill sub-judice before this Court in FAO 276\/2010.\n<\/p>\n<p>8.     At this juncture, it would be appropriate to take note of Section<br \/>\n11 of CPC, which reads as under:-\n<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>       11. Res judicata -No Court shall try any suit or issue<br \/>\n       in which the matter directly and substantially in issue<br \/>\n       has been directly and substantially in issue in a<br \/>\n       former suit between the same parties, or between<br \/>\n       parties under whom they or any of them claim,<br \/>\n       litigating under the same title, in a Court competent to<br \/>\n       try such subsequent suit or the suit in which such<br \/>\n       issue has been subsequently raised, and has been<br \/>\n       heard and finally decided by such Court.\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<blockquote><p>       Explanation I.-The expression &#8220;former suit&#8221; shall<br \/>\n       denote a suit which has been decided prior to the suit<br \/>\n       in question whether or not it was instituted prior<br \/>\n       thereto.\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><span class=\"hidden_text\">FAO 448\/2010                                                     Page 4 of 6<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote><p>        Explanation II.-For the purposes of this section, the<br \/>\n       competence of a Court shall be determined irrespective<br \/>\n       of any provisions as to a right of appeal from the<br \/>\n       decision of such Court.\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<blockquote><p>       Explanation III.-The matter above referred to must in<br \/>\n       the former suit have been alleged by one party and<br \/>\n       either denied or admitted, expressly or impliedly, by<br \/>\n       the other.\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<blockquote><p>       Explanation IV.-Any matter which might and ought to<br \/>\n       have been made ground of defence or attack in such<br \/>\n       former suit shall be deemed to have been a matter<br \/>\n       directly and substantially in issue in such suit.\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<blockquote><p>       Explanation V.-Any relief claimed in the plaint, which<br \/>\n       is not expressly granted by the decree, shall, for the<br \/>\n       purposes of this section, be deemed to have been<br \/>\n       refused.\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<blockquote><p>       Explanation VI.-Where persons litigate bona fide in<br \/>\n       respect of public right or of a private right claimed in<br \/>\n       common for themselves and others, all persons<br \/>\n       interested in such right shall, for the purposes of this<br \/>\n       section, be deemed to claim under the persons so<br \/>\n       litigating.\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<blockquote><p>       Explanation VII.-The provisions of this section shall<br \/>\n       apply to a proceeding for the execution of a decree and<br \/>\n       reference in this section to any suit, issue or former<br \/>\n       suit shall be construed as references, respectively, to<br \/>\n       proceedings for the execution of the decree, question<br \/>\n       arising in such proceeding and a former proceeding for<br \/>\n       the execution of that decree.\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<blockquote><p>       Explanation VIII.-An issue heard and finally decided<br \/>\n       by a Court of limited jurisdiction, competent to decide<br \/>\n       such issue, shall operate as res judicata in as<br \/>\n       subsequent suit, notwithstanding that such Court of<br \/>\n       limited jurisdiction was not competent to try such<br \/>\n       subsequent suit or the suit in which such issue has<br \/>\n       been subsequently raised.\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>9.     The issue as to whether will dated 22.08.1994 left by deceased<br \/>\nNeerta Devi was the last and final will of the said deceased was directly<br \/>\nand substantially in issue in Probate Case No.318\/2006 between the<br \/>\nsame parties inasmuch as, the appellants are also claiming to be one of<br \/>\nthe legal heirs of the deceased. The objection taken by them that the<br \/>\ndeceased Neerta Devi had, in fact, left another will dated 02.04.1998<br \/>\nwas not substantiated by the appellant in that case. He also failed to<br \/>\nprove that will even in the petition filed by him being Probate Case No.<br \/>\n<span class=\"hidden_text\">FAO 448\/2010                                                  Page 5 of 6<\/span><br \/>\n 319\/2006. Thus, the judgment delivered by the ADJ in Probate Case<br \/>\nNO. 318\/2006 attained finality and the findings returned in that case,<br \/>\nconstitutes res judicata with respect to the claim of the appellant that<br \/>\nthe will dated 22.08.1994 was not the last and final will left by Neerta<br \/>\nDevi. The very fact that the claim lodged by the appellant on the basis<br \/>\nof the alleged will dated 02.04.1998 being not substantiated by the<br \/>\nappellant in those proceedings or in any independent proceedings<br \/>\nbrings an end to the litigation between the parties. After upholding the<br \/>\norder of the ADJ by this Court in FAO No. 276\/2010, the appellant is<br \/>\nnot entitled to rake up the issue again. Thus, the appeal filed by the<br \/>\nappellant is dismissed being barred by res judicata at this stage itself.<br \/>\nThe order dated 05.08.2010 is therefore upheld. No costs.\n<\/p>\n<p>                                                MOOL CHAND GARG,J<br \/>\nDECEMBER 13, 2010<br \/>\n&#8216;sg\/dc&#8217;<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"hidden_text\">FAO 448\/2010                                                 Page 6 of 6<\/span>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Delhi High Court Raj Kumar &amp; Anr vs State &amp; Ors on 13 December, 2010 Author: Mool Chand Garg * IN THE HIGH COURT OF DELHI AT NEW DELHI + FAO.No.448\/2010 % Decided On: 13.12.2010 RAJ KUMAR &amp; ANR. &#8230;.
