Case brief
What is this about?
High Court of Chhattisgarh at Bilaspur, MAC No. 1481 of 2022 (Ram Chandra Sahu v. Smt. Maya Devi & others, including National Insurance Co. Ltd.), decided 15.1.2026 by Hon'ble Shri Justice Rakesh Mohan Pandey. The appeal was dismissed for want of prosecution because the appellant was unrepresented even in the second round of hearing. No issue on merits was decided; no statutes or precedents were cited and no quantum was determined. Respondent No. 5 was represented by Mr. Sudhir Agrawal, Advocate.
What did the court decide?
As there was no representation on behalf of the appellant even when the matter was taken up for hearing in the second round, there was no other option left with the Court but to dismiss the appeal for want of prosecution. ¶21
