JUDGMENT
Manjari Nehru Kaul, J. (Oral) - The petitioner is impugning the order dated 03.12.2019 (Annexure P-19) passed by learned Civil Judge (Jr.Divn.), Panchkula whereby his application dated 11.03.2019 (Annexure P-18) filed under Section 151 of the Code of Civil Procedure, 1908 (for short, 'the Code') filed under Section 151 of the Code for deciding his application under Order 39 Rules 1 and 2 of the Code (Annexure P-17) was dismissed on the ground of it having been rendered infructuous.

The court clarified that distinct issues in separate suits do not warrant a stay under Section 10 of the CPC, emphasizing the need for identity in both the matter in issue and the relief sought.
Section 10 of the Code prevents trial of a suit if the matter is directly and substantially in issue in a previously instituted suit involving the same parties, which was not met here.
