IN THE HIGH COURT OF BOMBAY AT GOA APPEAL FROM ORDER NO. 41 OF 2008 MR. TEODOSIO PINTO THROUGH ATTORNEY JOSEFINA PINTO ... Appellant Versus MR. ANTHONY D'ZOUZA ... Respondent Mr. Joseph Vaz, Advocate for the appellant. Mr. S. D. Lotlikar, Senior Advocate with Mr. P. Lotlikar, Advocate for the respondents. Coram:- A. P. LAVANDE, J. Date:- 3rd October, 2008 P.C. Heard Mr. Vaz, learned counsel for the appellant and Mr. S.D. Lotlikar, learned Senior counsel for the respondent. By this appeal, the appellant takes exception to order dated 08.01.2008 passed by the Civil Judge, Senior Division, Mapusa in Special Civil Suit No.25/2004/B, by which an application filed by the appellant/plaintiff under Order 39 Rule 1 and 2 of the Civil Procedure Code against the respondent has been dismissed. Having heard the learned counsel for the parties, I am not inclined to interfere with the impugned order passed by the Trial Court, more particularly having regard to the fact that the earlier application filed by the appellant seeking similar relief has been dismissed by order dated 02.01.2006. It is well settled that principles of res judicata are also applicable for the application for interim relief. I am therefore, not inclined to interfere with the impugned order. Needless to state that the Trial Court shall decide the suit on its own merits without being influenced by the findings given in the impugned order as well as order dated 02.01.2006. The appeal stands disposed of. A. P. LAVANDE, J. lh/.
