Once the appellant had withdrawn the appeal that too without leave of the court to file a fresh appeal on similar grounds, then either the appeal or a fresh suit on the same cause of action is not maintainable.
If the appellant had withdrawn the appeal then it is deemed that he has accepted the decree.
Therefore the fresh suit on the same lines is not maintainable.
Since the appellant had withdrawn his appeal and filed a fresh suit, it an be deemed that there is a constructive res-judicata.
Constructive Res Judicata:It is an artificial form of res judicata and provides that if a plea could have been taken by a party in a proceeding between him and his opponent, he should not be permitted to take that plea against the same party in a subsequent proceeding with reference to the same subject-matter.
Section 11 provides that no the court shall try any suit or issue in which the matter has been directly and substantially in issue in a former suit between the same parties and has been heard and finally decided.
There must be two suits one former (previously decided) suit and the other subsequent suit. Parties of the former and subsequent suit or the parties under whom they or any of them claim should be the same.
