For the Appellant: No appearance
For the Respondents: No appearance
An appellant's failure to appear or represent their case can lead to dismissal for default under civil procedure.
Headnote:This case addresses a second appeal filed under Section 100 of the Code of Civil Procedure contesting earlier judgments. Without representation from the appellant despite several opportunities, the court determines that dismissal is necessary. The final decision resulted in the appeal being dismissed for default with no costs imposed.
JUDGMENT
Inspite of several adjournments, there is no representation on behalf of the learned counsel for the appellant and this shows that the learned counsel for the appellant is not interested in prosecuting this Second Appeal. Hence, this Court has no other option except to dismiss the appeal for default.
2. Accordingly, this Second Appeal is dismissed for default.
No costs. Consequently, connected Miscellaneous Petitions are closed.
