High Court of Gujarat

STATE BANK OF INDIA THROUGH REGIONAL MANAGERversusPATNI VINODBHAI BABUBHAI

Disposal: 43-DISMISSED FOR DEFAULT @ FH
Bench: DEVAN M DESAI

Holding

The petition is dismissed for non‑prosecution and the interim relief is vacated.

Summary

The petitioner, State Bank of India, failed to appear before the High Court despite multiple notices. Consequently, the Court dismissed the petition for non‑prosecution and vacated any interim relief that had been granted. The connected civil application was also disposed of as it could not survive the dismissal of the main petition. The respondent’s counsel, Ms. Falguni Trivedi, requested removal of her name from the party list, and the Court ordered the Registry to delete her name and accept the appearance of Ms. Amrita Patel as the new counsel for the respondent. No substantive merits of the underlying dispute were addressed.

Issues considered

Whether the petition should be dismissed for non‑prosecution due to the petitioner’s absence?
Whether the interim relief, if any, should be vacated upon dismissal?
Whether the change of counsel for the respondent can be effected at this stage?
