Answer 1

An issue which has already been decided by a court between the same parties

"Res Judicate" is a very important aspect under the Indian Procedural Laws and it means that a case cannot be tried twice over the same issue once it has been decided by the appropriate court. It is closely related to the fundamental right of Article 20(2) which saves an individual from "double jeopardy".
