The Branch Manager v. Gaddeppa and Ors.
Case brief
What is this about?
Appeal dismissed in default - failure of appellant to take steps for issuance of notice to respondent despite earlier direction - 'without further reference to the Court'. Source text extensively corrupted: court, case number, filing/decision dates, coram, party identities and all citations illegible. Usable only with extreme caution; corroborate against an clean copy before citing.
What did the court decide?
The appeal stands dismissed (deciphered from the operative words 'this appeal stand[s] dismissed') on account of the appellant's failure to take steps for issuance of notice to the respondent despite the earlier direction, without further reference to the Court. ¶¶44
