Partap Chand v. Drompati Devi
Case brief
What is this about?
Dismissal of a Regular Second Appeal (RSA No. 106 of 2015, Himachal Pradesh High Court, Shimla) for non-prosecution on 1.3.2024 by Virender Singh, Judge; failure of appellant Partap Chand, despite numerous opportunities and adjournments, to bring on record the legal representatives of the deceased sole respondent Drompati Devi; correction of earlier court order dated 18.8.2023 that had wrongly recorded the appellant's expiry; no counsel appeared for the respondent; no statutory provisions or precedent cases cited; no damages or monetary quantum involved.
What did the court decide?
The order dated 18.8.2023 was directed to be read as corrected, so as to record that it was the sole respondent (and not the appellant) who had expired, three weeks having been granted to bring the respondent's legal representatives on record. ¶21
