Which of the following landmark judgments of the Supreme Court deals with the applicability of res judicata in writ petitions?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer B
Daryao applied the general principle of res judicata to writ litigation: a contested merits dismissal under Article 226 can bar a fresh Article 32 petition by the same party on the same facts and relief. A dismissal for laches or availability of an alternative remedy, or a non-speaking dismissal, does not automatically create the same merits bar. Satyadhyan Ghosal concerns the principle at stages of litigation, but Daryao is the specified writ-petition landmark.
