Case brief
What is this about?
High Court of Karnataka at Bengaluru, Ravi V Hosmani, J., decision dated 03.02.2026 — Regular Second Appeal No. 1462 of 2022, Smt. Sarojamma and others v. Sri Krishnegowda (dead by LRs) and others. RSA under Section 100 CPC against the judgment and decree dated 18.12.2021 in RA.No.22/2017 (II Addl. Senior Civil Judge and JMFC, Hassan), confirming the judgment and decree dated 01.12.2016 in OS No.437/2008 (III Addl. Civil Judge and JMFC, Hassan). Appeal dismissed for non-prosecution on account of appellants' absence and repeated non-compliance of office objections despite cost; no issues decided, no cases cited, no dissent.
What did the court decide?
Appeal dismissed for non-prosecution: though the matter was passed over and called again there was no representation for the appellants; the matter was listed for orders on non-compliance of office objections for the fifth time, and despite sufficient earlier opportunity, even on cost, the office objections remained un-complied and cost unpaid, indicating the appellants were not diligently pursuing the appeal.
