Here's a quick rundown of what happened in a recent court case. Sathish, the person who filed the appeal, didn't show up in court, and his appeal was dismissed. Let's break it down further.
In this case, Sathish, the son of the late R. Balakrishnan, was against several people, including S. Tamil Anangu and others. The case was about a land dispute that had been going on in the courts for a while. It started with a decision in 2018, which Sathish was trying to change.
Sathish's appeal was a second attempt to change the court's decision, filed under a specific rule in the Civil Procedure Code. He was trying to overturn a decision from February 2023, which agreed with an earlier ruling from November 2018. The case was heard by Justice A.D. Maria Clete at the Madurai Bench of the Madras High Court.
Things changed when Sathish's lawyer, Mr. M. Suresh, told the court that Sathish wanted a new lawyer. The lawyer gave the case files back to Sathish, but no new lawyer came forward to take over.
"Even today (ie. 22.08.2025), there is no representation for the appellant."
Because Sathish didn't show up or send a new lawyer, the court listed the case for dismissal. Without representation, the court dismissed the appeal because Sathish didn't follow through with the process.
Justice A.D. Maria Clete dismissed the appeal because Sathish was absent. The court also closed the related petition. There were no extra costs ordered, so Sathish didn't have to pay any additional fees for this dismissal.
That's how the case ended. It's a reminder that being present is crucial, especially in court!
