Mr. R. Mustaq Ahmed, v. The District Collector
Case brief
What is this about?
Dismissal for default; petitioner non-appearance; failure to engage counsel after change of vakalath; writ of certiorari under Article 226 against District Revenue Officer order dated 23.07.2018 (Na.Ka.1383/2014 No. 3) confirming Revenue Divisional Officer, Tambaram order dated 05.06.2013 (Na.Ka.No. 3734/2012/A); respondents include District Collector Kanceepuram, Tahsildar Tambaram Taluk, and J.G. Glass Industries / J.G. Shelters (Madras) LLP; Government Advocate Mr.N.Naveen Kumar for official respondents; no substantive legal issue decided; no precedent value.
What did the court decide?
Neither the petitioner nor any counsel entered appearance when the matter was called, and the petitioner had failed to engage counsel despite the case bundle having been handed over with change of vakalath; this shows the petitioner is not interested to pursue the case.
