Expression 'bar' - Indian Laws - General

Expression bar According to Black s Law Dictionary, bar means, a plea arresting a law suit or legal claim. It means as a verb, to prevent by legal objection. According to Ramanatha Aiyar s Law Lexicon, bar is- that which obstructs entry or egress; to exclude from consideration. It is therefore necessary to see whether a suit bad for misjoinder of parties or of causes of action is excluded from consideration or is barred entry for adjudication. [Prem Lala Nahata v. Chandi Prasad Sikaria- 2007 (2) TMI 696 - SUPREME COURT ]
