Sri. R. Murugan v. Smt. Vasanthalakshmi
Case brief
What is this about?
Karnataka High Court, Bengaluru; RFA No. 341 of 2023 (PAR); decided 02.04.2026 by R. Nataraj, J. Appeal under Section 96 r/w Order 41 Rule 1 CPC against decree dated 25.08.2022 in OS No.4161/2016 (XXXVII Addl. City Civil & Sessions Judge, CCH-38, Bangalore) dismissing a partition suit. Appellant R. Murugan (advocate Nagaraja S. absent); respondents Vasanthalakshmi, R. Nitya Veni Jeyavel, R. Shanmugavalli (B.N. Prakash for RR 2-3), Poonichandrika, Madhivanan. Result: appeal dismissed for non-prosecution for want of representation; no issues framed, no precedent cited, no quantum. Useful only as a procedural instance of dismissal for non-prosecution, not citable for partition law.
What did the court decide?
Since there was no representation for the appellant when the appeal was called on for admission (and no appearance even on the previous occasion, when the case was called twice), this Court dismissed the appeal for non-prosecution; no substantive question arising from the partition suit or its decree was adjudicated.
