SC Recognises and Applies Principle of Transnational Issue Estoppel in Foreign-Award Enforcement Proceedings

The SC, in Nagaraj V. Mylandla v. PI Opportunities Fund-I and Ors.[1] applied the doctrine of ‘transnational issue estoppel’, and held that once a foreign court or tribunal of competent jurisdiction has finally and conclusively adjudicated a specific issue, the parties are estopped from re-agitating that same issue before an Indian Court while objecting to enforcement of a foreign award in India.
