Decided
Disposal
Disposed Off

Holding

The second appeal and the civil application are dismissed in default due to the appellant's non-appearance.

Summary

The appellant filed a second appeal and a civil application but failed to appear for the hearing scheduled to consider condonation of delay. The court noted that the appellant did not appear on the last date and again failed to appear when the matter was listed for dismissal. Consequently, the court proceeded to dismiss both the second appeal and the civil application in default. No substantive merits of the appeal were examined. The order reflects the procedural consequence of non-appearance and failure to seek condonation. The dismissal was pronounced by Justice Gauri Godse of the Bombay High Court.
