Rudramma v. Umadevi
Case brief
What is this about?
Dismissal of a Regular Second Appeal (PAR/POS) for non-prosecution: appellant's counsel absent at final hearing and, despite time granted on 07.08.2025, failed to address arguments; appeal of the year 2021 dismissed by oral order dated 02.09.2025. Bench: V. Srishananda, J. (sole author). Statute referenced: Section 100, Code of Civil Procedure. Underlying chain: trial decree in O.S. No. 120/2016 dated 16.12.2017 (Additional Civil Judge, Holalkere) confirmed by first appellate judgment in R.A. No. 06/2018 dated 24.01.2020 (Senior Civil Judge and JMFC, Holalkere). Parties spread across Chitradurga, Shimoga, Davanagere and Hassan districts; notices to various respondents regularised by orders dated 14.07.2022 and 28.08.2023. No precedent value on substantive property/partition questions; useful only as an instance of dismissal for want of prosecution owing to appellant-side default.
