Uniworld Logistics Pvt. Ltd. vs Indev Logistics Pvt. Ltd 2024 INSC 515- Civil Suit

Civil Suit -Suit for possession and suit for claiming damages for use and occupation of the property are two different causes of action. There being different consideration for adjudication in our opinion, second suit filed by the respondent claiming damages for use and occupation of the premises was maintainable- The case in hand stands on a better footing, inasmuch as, the plaintiff-respondent had specifically reserved its rights in the first suit regarding claim against warehousing charges, damages for illegal use and occupation etc. and further had applied for leave before the Trial Court for filing a separate suit, which leave had been granted. There was neither any relinquishment at any stage, nor omission to claim relief. Both the causes of action being separate, the second suit was clearly maintainable. (Para 16-17)
