MUHAMMAD RAQEEB VS GOVERNMENT OF KHYBER PAKHTUNKHWA through Chief Secretary, Peshawar S. 11---Res-judicata, doctrine of---Scope---Said doctrine lays down the principle that the controversy flanked by the parties should come to an end and the judgment of the Court should attain finality with sacrosanctity and imperativeness which is necessary to avoid opening the floodgates of litigation---Once a judgment attains finality between the parties it cannot be reopened unless some fraud, mistake or lack of jurisdiction is pleaded and established---Foremost rationale of the doctrine of res judicata is to uphold the administration of justice and to prevent abuse of process with regard to the litigation and it also nips in the bud the multiplicity of proceedings on the same cause of action.
