No judgment which was not inter partes or the one to which neither the plaintiff nor the defendant were parties could be used in evidence for any purpose

Full Bench of the Madras High Court in Tripurana Seethapathi Rao Dora v. Rokkam Venkanna Dora AIR 1922 Mad 71 where Kumaraswami Sastri, J. observed thus :

I am of opinion that Section 35 has no application to judgments and that a judgment which would not be admissible under Sections 40 to 43 of the Evidence Act would not become relevant merely because it contains a statement as to a fact which is in issue or relevant in a suit between persons who are not parties or privies. Sections 40 to 44 of the Evidence Act deal with the relevancy of judgments in courts of justice.”
