Order II Rule 2 CPC Doesn't Mean Different Causes Of Action From Same Transaction Must Be Included In Single Suit : Supreme Court

The Supreme Court ruled that Order II Rule 2 of the Civil Procedure Code (CPC) does not mandate that all causes of action arising from the same transaction must be included in a single suit. The case concerned whether a party is barred from filing a second suit based on a cause of action that was not included in the first. The Court held that the rule only applies to causes of action that could have been raised in the first suit, not to those that arise later or are independent of the original cause. This decision provides greater flexibility in pursuing legal claims in multiple suits.
