Mr R S Fakruddin v. Mr Allabakash
Case brief
What is this about?
Non-prosecution dismissal of Regular Second Appeal; Karnataka High Court, Bengaluru; H.P. Sandesh, J.; judgment dated 15-07-2025; RSA No. 301 of 2021 (PAR); filed under Section 100 r/w Order 41 Rule 1 CPC 1908; challenge to R.A.No.141/2017 judgment dated 11.12.2020 confirming O.S.No.283/2015 decree dated 13.10.2017; Chikkaballapura; repeated adjournments (14.02.2025, 19.06.2025); counsel absent both calls; Lok Adalath referral failure; no adjudication on merits; no costs or quantum awarded.
What did the court decide?
Finding no representation for the appellants on either call (morning and afternoon sessions), a prior Lok Adalath referral at which the appellants failed to appear, and repeated adjournments without diligent pursuit of the appeal filed in 2021 (including on 14.02.2025 and 19.06.2025), the Court held there was no ground to adjourn the matter again and dismissed the appeal for non-prosecution, without adjudication on the merits.
