Case brief
What is this about?
Madras High Court order dated 11-03-2026 in C.M.P.No.8222 of 2002 in S.A.No.1040 of 2002 (R. Sakthivel, J.), filed under Section 151 of the Code of Civil Procedure, 1908. Petitioner Padmavathi Ammal sought stay of further proceedings in O.S.No.1297 of 1995 (Principal District Munsif, Tiruvannamalai), confirmed in A.S.No.70 of 1999 (Principal District Judge, Tiruvannamalai), pending the Second Appeal. Interim stay of 05.07.2002 vacated and C.M.P. closed because the Second Appeal remained unadmitted and unprosecuted despite repeated listing. Respondents 9 to 12 were LRs of deceased first respondent Santhanam (impleaded 25.02.2020); respondents 3 to 6 were ex parte in the lower Court. No case law cited; no costs or quantum.
What did the court decide?
The interim stay dated July 05, 2002 was not extended and stands vacated, since despite repeated listing the Second Appeal had not been admitted and the Petitioner had not proceeded with it; consequently the Civil Miscellaneous Petition is closed.
