State of Karnataka, Karnataka Industrial Area Development Board and Special Land Acquisition Officer-1; appeal under Rule 4 of the Karnataka High Court Act, 1961 against Single Judge's order dated 27.09.2024 in WP No. 23373/2022 (LA-KIADB); dismissed for non-prosecution due to absence of appellant's counsel; no merits discussion, no cases cited, no quantum.
What did the court decide?
The writ appeal was dismissed for non-prosecution: learned counsel for the appellant was absent on two calls, and it was submitted by respondents' counsel that no one appeared for the appellant on the last date of hearing either, from which the Court concluded that the appellant was not interested in prosecuting the appeal. The appeal was not decided on merits.
