Which of the following judgments of the Supreme Court deals with the applicability of res judicata in writ petitions?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer B
Daryao held that the general principle of res judicata may bar an Article 32 petition after a High Court’s Article 226 adjudication on the merits. The finality rests on public policy and applies with attention to how the earlier proceeding was decided. A dismissal for a procedural reason or without a merits adjudication is not automatically equivalent to that bar.
