Adiga, JJ.) on 29.07.2025 dismissed RFA No. 1125 of 2015 (PAR), filed under Sec. 96 CPC against the judgment and decree dated 01.04.2016 in O.S. No. 63/2011 of the 2nd Addl. Senior Civil Judge, Chikmagalore, whereby the suit for partition and declaration had been dismissed; appellants and their counsel (Sri Pramod R) absent in the revised call of the list, Sri K.N. Mohan present for Respondent Nos. 1 to 16.

What did the court decide?

As no one appeared for the appellants in the revised call of the list, the Regular First Appeal was dismissed for non-prosecution; the merits of the suit for partition and declaration were not adjudicated. ¶62
