Natarajan v. Sowrirajan
Case brief
What is this about?
Default dismissal of a civil Second Appeal (S.A.(MD)No.467 of 2004) under Section 100 CPC at the Madurai Bench of the Madras High Court, decided 08.01.2025 by V. Sivagnanam, J. Appellants Natarajan and Nandhakumar appeared neither time ('No appearance'); respondent Sowrirajan was represented by Mr. K. Prabhakar. Underlying chain: decree dated 06.04.1999 in O.S.No.832 of 1998 (Principal District Munsif, Trichirapalli) was set aside by judgment and decree dated 16.04.2004 in A.S.No.134 of 1999 (Subordinate Judge, Trichirapalli), which the Second Appeal sought to reverse. No merits decided, no cases cited, no quantum.
What did the court decide?
As there was no representation on the side of the appellants when the matter was taken up for hearing, and the appellants remained absent for the second time, the Second Appeal is dismissed for default, with no costs.
