State Bank of India v. Harnand
Case brief
What is this about?
Punjab & Haryana HC | RSA-528-2000 (IOIN-RSA-528-2000) | State Bank of India v. Har Nand (Died) | Justice Deepak Gupta | decided 12-12-2025 | appeal dismissed in default for want of prosecution; IOIN for impleading LRs of deceased sole respondent disposed; no representation on either side; R.K. Hooda had withdrawn as respondent's counsel (order dt. 01.05.2023).
What did the court decide?
With no representation for the appellant, a last opportunity to seek impleadment of the LRs of the deceased sole respondent already availed of and lost, and the appellant apparently no longer interested in pursuing the appeal, no further order was required; the main appeal was taken on board the same day and dismissed in default for want of prosecution. ¶13
