Supreme Court of India 2018-11-15 dismissed

S. Venkatraman vs T. Sundaram

Bench: 1 — <UNKNOWN>

In Brief

The Supreme Court dismissed a Second Appeal for non-prosecution. The appellant failed to appear or be represented when the case was listed for hearing on three consecutive dates (12, 14, and 15 November 2018). Despite being granted an additional opportunity after the first non-appearance, the appellant again failed to appear on the rescheduled dates. The Court construed this pattern of inaction as evidence that the appellant was not interested in pursuing the matter and dismissed the appeal without costs. The connected miscellaneous petition was also dismissed.
