https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=286131 Section 13 CPC gives conclusiveness to a foreign judgment only on matters directly adjudicated by a court of competent jurisdiction and only within the statutory exceptions. A determination of title to immovable property is confined to the property situated within that court's territorial jurisdiction, because rights in immovables are governed by the lex situs. The distinction between res judicata under Section 11 and conclusiveness of foreign judgments under Section 13 means a foreign decision on land outside the present suit's situs cannot bar fresh adjudication on the merits. The foreign judgment was therefore not conclusive as to the suit property and did not operate as res judicata. en-us Fri, 28 Feb 1964 00:00:00 +0530 Thu, 13 Feb 2020 15:32:00 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=286131 Section 13 CPC gives conclusiveness to a foreign judgment only on matters directly adjudicated by a court of competent jurisdiction and only within the statutory exceptions.
