Quick Summary: Thangavel and others filed an appeal against Selvi and others, but they didn't show up in court. So, the appeal got dismissed.

The Case Background

Thangavel and three others filed an appeal in the Madras High Court. They wanted to overturn a decision made by the III Additional District Judge in Salem on March 26, 2019. The appeal was against Selvi and several others.

The Court Date Drama

The case was called on September 18, 2025, but Thangavel and his group didn’t show up. The court decided to give them another chance and scheduled the next hearing for September 24, 2025.

Final Call: No Show, No Appeal

On September 24, 2025, the case was listed with a warning that it might be dismissed. Unfortunately, Thangavel and the others were absent again. Because they didn't show up, Justice A.D. Maria Clete dismissed the appeal.

The Legal Wrap-Up

The court's decision was straightforward. Since the appellants didn’t show up, the appeal was dismissed without any costs. This means they lost the chance to challenge the previous decision.
