    Under the Code of Civil Procedure (CPC), the principle

    of "Res Sub-Judice" (Section 10) provides that: 
    A A court shall not try a suit that has already been decided. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B A court shall not proceed with the trial of a suit in which the matter in issue is also directly and substantially in issue in a previously instituted suit between the same parties. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C A suit cannot be filed against the Government without notice. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D A secondary suit is barred if the first suit is dismissed for default. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E No appeal lies from an ex parte decree. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    The principle of Res Sub-Judice is enshrined in Section 10 of the Code of Civil Procedure, 1908. The core purpose of this doctrine is to prevent two courts of concurrent jurisdiction from simultaneously entertaining and adjudicating two parallel litigations in respect of the same matter in issue, which helps avoid conflicting decisions and unnecessary harassment of parties.
