Case brief
What is this about?
Bare dismissal for non-prosecution of two decade-old regular second appeals from Mandya district: RSA No. 245/2009 c/w RSA No. 244/2009 (Section 100 CPC, DEC/INJ), High Court of Karnataka, M.I. Arun J., 05.11.2025 (NC: 2025:KHC:44720). Underlying decrees: O.S. No. 188/1997 and O.S. No. 163/1998 (Addl. Civil Judge (Sr. Dvn.), Mandya, 02.02.2005), affirmed in first appeal R.A. No. 24/2005 and R.A. No. 22/2005 (Prl. District Judge, Mandya, 30.09.2008). Appellants' counsel (Somashekar/Somashekhar Kashimath) absent; no argument, no ratio on merits; respondent nos. 4 and 6 earlier abated (07.12.2016). Citable, if at all, only as procedural precedent on disposal of abandoned appeals.
What did the court decide?
As none appeared for the appellants, the appeals having lain pending since 2009 with no apparent interest in prosecution, both regular second appeals were dismissed for non-prosecution.
