Bulwa dead Through Legal Heirs And Ors. v. Basanti Bai dead Through Legal Heirs And Ors.
Case brief
What is this about?
Procedural dismissal: second appeal (SA No. 488 of 2013, Chhattisgarh High Court, Justice Ravindra Kumar Agrawal, 26.11.2025) dismissed for want of prosecution on account of repeated non-appearance and absence of representation by the appellants (absent also on 04.07.2025 and 16.09.2025). Parties are Satnami-family legal heirs of deceased original parties Bulwa and Basanti Bai, other individual respondents, and the State of Chhattisgarh (represented by Shri Tarkeshwar Nande, PL). No substantive holding; cite, if at all, only for the practice point that persistent non-appearance results in dismissal for want of prosecution.
What did the court decide?
The appellants were wholly unrepresented: no one appeared for them in two rounds and no representation was made; they had also been absent on 04.07.2025 and 16.09.2025. ¶33
