Issue estoppel applies in criminal proceedings where an earlier adjudication has distinctly raised or found the same issue, and parties are precluded from advancing legally inconsistent allegations; the court applied this principle to dismiss as barred a later complaint founded on the same letters and facts as an earlier complaint that was finally decided on merits as non-maintainable under company law. The earlier dismissal on merits operated as an estoppel against relitigation, and the subsequent complaint and related orders were quashed with the petition disposed of.
