Bombay High Court

SHRI.SURESH GANPATI POTDARversusSHRI.PANDURANG RAMCHANDRA PATIL JADHAV

Disposal: Disposed Off
Bench: VRUSHALI V JOSHI

Holding

The appeal is disposed of for want of prosecution due to the failure to file a Vakalatnama.

Summary

The appellant, Shri Suresh Ganpati Potdar, filed a second appeal against Shri Pandurang Ramchandra Patil Jadhav. The appellant's counsel, Advocate Paraswi Deodhar, was given an opportunity but failed to file a Vakalatnama. The court considered whether the appeal could continue without the required Vakalatnama. It held that the non‑submission of a Vakalatnama constitutes want of prosecution, rendering the appeal untenable. Accordingly, the appeal was disposed of without reaching the merits of the dispute.

Issues considered

Whether the appeal can proceed in the absence of a filed Vakalatnama by the appellant's counsel?
