Case brief

AI extract

What is this about?

Karnataka HC (Bengaluru), decided 15-07-2026 by Hon'ble Mrs. Justice P Sree Sudha (NC: 2026:KHC:36164; CNR: KAHC010491792014). MFA No.7451/2014 c/w MFA No.7452/2014 (MV-I) by V. Manjunatha (vehicle owner) u/s 173(1) MV Act against common MACT Hiriyur award dt. 07.08.2013 in MVC No.94/2011 c/w MVC No.95/2011 (Rs.83,840/- and Rs.98,800/- with 6% p.a. interest). Both appeals DISMISSED for appellant's default — listed 'for dismissal', appellant absent. Respondents argued policy (24.08.2009–23.08.2010) had lapsed before the 02.10.2010 accident; point left undecided. No precedent cited or discussed.

What did the court decide?

Since the appellant did not turn up even after the matters were listed under the caption 'for dismissal', no purpose is served in continuing the appeals; hence both MFA No.7451/2014 and MFA No.7452/2014 are dismissed.
