Bashir @ Mohamad Bashir Ahmed; Chandra Mohani Jain; Kesri Dass Jain; Punjab and Haryana High Court at Chandigarh; Deepak Gupta J.; oral order dated 18.03.2026; photocopy on connected file. Relevant as an example of a purely procedural disposal of cross appeals where both sides abstained even after a last-opportunity order; contains no substantive ruling, statute reference or precedent treatment.
What did the court decide?
Both cross appeals are dismissed in default for want of prosecution, as it clearly appears from the circumstances that the parties are no longer interested in pursuing the appeals and none of the counsels appeared despite the strict order that no further opportunity would be provided.
