Detailed Solution for Maharashtra Judicial Services Prelims Mock Test - 2 - Question 18

Limitation Act provides the bar to the suit, appeal and application to be filed by the person. But on the other hand, it doesn't bar the action. It is based on the 2 legal maxims:
1. 'Interest Reipublicae ut sit finis litium' means that the interest of the state requires that there should be an end to litigation.
2. 'Vigilantibus non dormantibus jura subveniunt' means that the law assists the person who is vigilant for his right not for the dormant person who sleeps over his rights.
The law of limitation only bars the remedy when the period of limitation expires, but it doesn't destroy the right that cannot be enforced by the judicial process. Thus, if any claim is satisfied outside the court after the expiry of limitation period, it is not illegal.

Where persons litigate bonafide in respect of a private right claimed in common for themselves and other and suit is finally dismissed on merit:
Detailed Solution for Maharashtra Judicial Services Prelims Mock Test - 2 - Question 21
Explanation VI to Section 11 of the Code of Civil Procedure deals with representative suits, i.e. suits instituted by or against a person in his representative capacity, as distinguished from individual capacity. It provides that where persons litigate bonafide in respect of a public right or of a private right claimed in common for themselves and others, and all persons interested in such right shall, for the purposes of Section 11, be deemed to claim under the persons so litigating.
Explanation VI, thus, illustrates one aspect of constructive res judicata. Thus, where a representative suit is brought under Section 92 of the Code and a decree is passed in such a suit, the law assumes that all the persons who have the same interest as plaintiffs in the representative suit were represented by the said plaintiffs and, therefore are constructively barred by res judicata by re-agitating the matters directly and substantially in issue in the former suit.
