Detailed headnote1 paragraphs

Regular Second Appeal No.2766 of 2007 (DEC/INJ) under Section 100 CPC — dismissed for non-prosecution. The appeal challenged the judgment and decree dated 24.02.2007 in RA.No.26/2002 (Civil Judge (Sr.Dn.) and Addl. CJM., Arsikere), by which the first appellate court allowed the appeal and set aside the judgment and decree dated 14.02.2002 in OS.No.104/95 (Prl. Civil Judge (Jr.Dn.), Arsikere). On the date fixed for final hearing, counsel for the appellants (Sri S. Mahesh and Sri K. T. Nagendra) was absent despite several opportunities, including the last chance granted by this Court's order dated 14.10.2025; learned counsel for respondent No.3 (Sri Murali N.) was present, while respondents 1 and 2 were served and unrepresented. Holding the appellants unrepresented, the High Court (Umesh M Adiga, J.) dismissed the appeal for non-prosecution on 28.10.2025, leaving the first appellate court's reversal intact; no substantive issue arising from the declaration/injunction suit was adjudicated.
