High Court of Karnataka, J.M. Khazi J., 16.07.2025; no merits decided, no precedent engaged.
What did the court decide?
Petition dismissed for default: there was no representation for the petitioners in the morning or afternoon session, and despite a conditional order dated 04.07.2025 warning that failure to take steps would result in dismissal, steps were not taken; the petitioners appear not interested in prosecuting the petition. ¶50
