# Composite Appeal Against Common Judgment Maintainable: Supreme Court 2026-08-13T11:55:28+00:00 | Governance | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 1 independent outlet The Supreme Court has held that a composite appeal against a common judgment passed in multiple suits filed by the same plaintiff is maintainable. A bench of Justice Ujjal Bhuyan and Justice Atul S. Chandurkar set aside a Karnataka High Court order that had interfered with the first appellate court's decision to entertain such an appeal. The Court said the requirement of separate memoranda of appeal was a curable defect, not a fatal one, especially since the appellant had filed certified copies of both decrees and paid court fees on two appeals. The case involved two suits filed by the same plaintiff, one for declaring a sale deed void, the other for a perpetual injunction. After a common trial, both suits were dismissed by a common judgment. The plaintiff filed one composite appeal. The High Court had set aside the appellate court's ruling for lack of separate appeals, but the Supreme Court found that the composite appeal was rightly entertained. The matter now returns to the High Court for fresh adjudication on merits. ## Coverage - livelaw.in Tags: civil procedure, composite appeal, CPC, Karnataka High Court, legal procedure, Supreme Court Canonical: https://indianopinion.org/composite-appeal-against-common-judgment-maintainable-supreme-court/ License: Summary and commentary (c) Indian Opinion, reusable with attribution.
