Summary

In Second Appeal No. 649 of 2015, Dadasaheb Nathu Pagar (appellant) challenged a decree against him before the Bombay High Court. The court noted that the notice served on the appellant was returned marked ‘insufficient address’ and that the appellant failed to appear despite an adjournment. Counsel for the respondents informed the court that the parties had amicably settled the dispute. On the basis of this settlement, the court held that there was no longer any substantive issue to be decided. Consequently, the second appeal was disposed of as there was nothing left to adjudicate.
