The Tamil Nadu Village Courts Act, 1888Chapter III JURISDICTION, RES JUDICATA AND LIMITATION
If in the decision of a suit cognizable by a village court it becomes necessary to decide incidentally any matter in dispute between the parties to the suit, concerning title to immovable property, or the legal character of either of them, or of those under whom they claim, or the existence of any contract or obligation, which if it had been the immediate subject matter of the suit, would not be cognizable under this Act by a village court, it shall be competent to the village court to decide such question of title, legal character, contract or obligation as far as may be necessary for the determination of such suit; but such decision shall not be evidence of such title, legal character, contract or obligation in any other action though between the same parties or their representatives.
