NOEL YONA LUGENGE VS RENZO HERO COMM CAUSE NO

NOEL YONA LUGENGE VS RENZO HERO COMM CAUSE NO

The petition is barred because the petitioner withdrew the previous suit (Commercial Cause No.53 of 2021) without leave to refile, thus precluding him from instituting a fresh suit on the same subject matter under Order XXIII Rule 3 of the Civil Procedure Code. The present petition is a replica of the previous case and is therefore dismissed.
