Sir, I am appearing for defendant in one civil case. I raised the plea of Res Judicata in the written statement. The issues were framed and the case was posted for trial.
At the time cross of P.W.1, I filed an applicaiton stating that the suit was barred under Section 11 of CPC.
But the petition was returned on the ground that the trial was commenced, hence the petition would not lie?
I request you to kindly provide citation towards the above position so as to re-present the above application.

When you say " I raised the plea of Res Judicata in the written statement. The issues were framed "
why you needed application to move.

The court is wrong. If you have raised the issue in the first possible opportunity which has happened in your ws then court can not say that it is too late.

No application is needed. A memo is enough. This is a preliminary issue, only after deciding this the court can proceed further.
The court can consider this point at any stage before passing the final judgement.
