Query -  When a party(Defendant - Bank in this case) wins a case in the lower court against the Plaintiff, is it still possible for the winning party (Defendant) to file a suit against the Plaintiff in the same lower court? The case after it was lost in lower court, the Plaintiff immediately filed a case in the District court against the lower court order and it is now pending with the District court. In the meantime, the Defendant (Bank's Lawyer) went ahead and still filed a suit against the Plaintiff in the lower court for the same matter. It puzzles me here - When the case is already won by the opponent party or Defendant in the LOWER Court, why is the suit filed for the same case in the same Lower Court?? and that too when the case is now pending with the District court? It is not illegal for the Defendant to do so? The Defendant's lawyer  also issued summons on behalf of LOWER Court which said they will take action against the Plaintiff if not present in Lower Court to give statement on the lower court's Judgement. Please reply. Thanks.
