On which of the following maxims is the doctrine of 'Res Judicata' is based ?

Res judicata under section 11 of the Code of Civil Procedure, 1908 rests on the maxim "interest reipublicae ut sit finis litium" (it is in the interest of the State that there should be an end to litigation), together with "nemo debet bis vexari pro una et eadem causa" (no one should be vexed twice for the same cause).

"Qui facit per alium facit per se" and "respondeat superior" are maxims of vicarious liability, and "ex turpi causa non oritur actio" bars an action founded on an illegal or immoral cause.
