Chandra v. N.Krishnan (*) Died
Case brief
What is this about?
Dismissal of a second appeal for non-prosecution: no appearance by appellants on three consecutive listings (04.12.2025, 15.12.2025, 06.01.2026) despite the matter being placed under the caption 'for dismissal'. Madurai Bench of Madras High Court, S.A(MD)No.145 of 2007, N.Mala J. Appeal under Section 100 of Civil Procedure Code from the judgment/decree dated 03.12.1997 in A.S.No.22 of 1995 (Subordinate Judge, Kumbakonam) reversing the decree dated 15.07.1994 in O.S.No.2 of 1986 (District Munsif Court, Kumbakonam). No costs ordered; no merits discussed, no precedent cited, no amount awarded - of procedural interest only, illustrating treatment of appeals left unrepresented by appellants.
What did the court decide?
There was no representation for the appellants when the matter was taken up on 04.12.2025, again on 15.12.2025 when it was listed 'for dismissal', and once more on the hearing date, from which the Court concluded that the appellants were not interested in prosecuting the Second Appeal.
