How to defeat Res Judicata?
The doctrine of res judicata would not apply to the case until the conditions are met. The essential condition for the applicability is that the succeeding suit or proceeding is founded on the same cause of action on which the former suit was founded. The principle of res judicata can be defeated when the party has filed the suit on a reasonable ground for example in case a public interest litigation has been filed there is no reason not to extend the doctrine of res judicata. The PIL has been filed with a bona fide intention and the litigation cannot end.
