Case brief
What is this about?
Non-prosecution dismissal of motor accident claim appeal MAC No. 1148 of 2012, High Court of Chhattisgarh at Bilaspur, decided 09/06/2025 by Justice Radhakishan Agrawal. Appellants (legal representatives of deceased Tejram: Mahendra Kumar Jangde, Jitendra Kumar Jangde) did not appear nor make any representation despite the matter being called repeatedly; counsel Deepak Kumar Singh appeared for respondents (Bhagwn Kumar, Firtin Bai, minor Vikas Kumar). No statute, precedent or quantum discussed; no merits adjudicated; appeal simply dismissed for non-prosecution.
What did the court decide?
Since no one appeared nor any representation was made on behalf of the appellants even after the matter was called repeatedly, no option was left to the Court but to dismiss the appeal for non-prosecution. ¶20
