There is no bar to the examination of a second complaint on the same subject but
it can be entertained in exceptional circumstances viz
- where privious order was passed on incomplete record
- on misunderstanding of the nature of the complaint or
- the order which was passed was manifestly absurd, unjust or foolish or
- where New facts which could not, with reasonable diligence, have been
brought on the record in the previous proceedings
