The court held that constructive res judicata could not apply because the BDA was not impleaded in the earlier suit and there was no identity of parties or title, so the prior decree was not binding on it. It further held that the suit was within limitation because the cause of action arose only when the earlier decree became conclusive, and that the jurisdictional issue concerning compulsory acquisition had not been finally decided earlier, having passed sub silentio. en-us Mon, 01 Jun 2015 00:00:00 +0530 Sun, 05 Dec 2021 14:39:16 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=299151 A judgment does not bind a non-party owner when the person on record is only a lessee without authority to represent the owner's title or acquisition rights.
