What is this about?
Patna High Court; First Appeal No.690 of 1977 (listing dt.23-04-2026); single Judge Ramesh Chand Malviya; dismissal for default / non-prosecution under Order XLI Rule 17 CPC; appellants absent on repeated calls; Vakalatnama not filed (office notes 24.04.2026); respondents represented by Mr. Santosh Kr. Sinha; no merits decided; no cases cited; parties from villages in District Bhojpur (Jogibir, Chandpali, Kat, Semra). Practice point: treatment of decades-old first appeals where counsel does not enter appearance.
What did the court decide?
Since nobody appeared on behalf of the appellants on repeated calls and the Vakalatnama had not been filed, the appellants have lost their interest to contest First Appeal No. 690 of 1977. ¶45
