Here's a quick rundown: The High Court of Madras dismissed an appeal in a case between Kasiammal and Kala because the people who filed the appeal didn't show up. The case had been going back and forth for a while.
This was a second appeal filed by Kasiammal and others. They wanted to change a previous decision made by the Subordinate Court in Arni, which had reversed an even earlier decision by the District Munsif in Polur. The whole thing started with a case filed way back in 2002.
On September 17, 2025, the court asked for the people who filed the appeal to come, but nobody showed up. Because of this, the case was scheduled again for September 23, 2025, with a warning that it might be dismissed. When they still didn't appear, the court had no choice but to dismiss the appeal.
"This appeal is dismissed for non-prosecution."
The decision was made by Dr. Justice A.D. Maria Clete, who stated that the appeal was dismissed because the appellants didn't actively pursue the case. The related additional request was also closed, and no costs were charged.
The dismissal means that the previous decision by the Subordinate Court in Arni stays as it is. The people who filed the appeal lost their chance to challenge it further because they didn't show up.
