JUDGMENT :
UMESH M. ADIGA, J.
The present appeals are directed against the judgment and decree dated 07.08.2008, passed by the Principal District and Sessions Judge, Bangalore Rural District, Bangalore, (for short, 'first Appellate Court'), in R.A.No.111/2007 and Cross Appeal No.142/2008. These appeals arise from the judgment and decree dated 21.08.2007, passed by the Civil Judge (Sr.Dn.,) Doddaballapura, (for short, 'trial Court'), in O.S.No.17/2004, for dismissing the suit filed by the plaintiff for relief of declaration and permanent injunction.

The principle of res judicata bars re-litigation of matters already decided, confirming that the earlier judgment is binding and the current suit is not maintainable.
A suit can be rejected if it is barred by limitation, and the limitation period begins when the right to sue first accrues, emphasizing the need for timely legal action.
