Book excerpt: Excerpt from Estoppel by Matter of Record in Civil Suits in India The doctrine of estoppel has been so fully dealt with by the learned author of the note upon the Duchess of Kingston's case, 2 Smith's L. C., and by the successive editors of that work, that further comment may seem to be superfluous, even as regards its operation in India, especially because it has now been clearly held that there is nothing technical or peculiar to the rule of res judicata as adopted by the Indian Legislature. But this was not always thought to be the case. The Bengal Regulation III of 1793, sec. 16, was imperfect in so far as it omitted to qualify the rule by the necessary limitation that the decision to be binding must have been between the same parties or between parties under whom the litigants claim. The section runs as follows: - 'The Zillah and City Courts are prohibited from entertaining any cause which, from the production of a former decree or the records of the Court, shall appear to have been heard and determined by any former Judge or any Superintendent of a Court having competent jurisdiction.'
