Here's a quick summary: A court case between K. Velusamy and R.K. Saminathan was dismissed because no one took steps to continue the case after both parties passed away.
This case started as an appeal suit filed by K. Velusamy. He wanted to overturn a decision from 2019 by the III Additional District Judge in Salem. The case involved several people, including R.K. Saminathan and others associated with Ayyangar Bakery.
On March 10, 2025, the court was ready to hear the case. But guess what? The lawyers revealed that both Velusamy and Saminathan had passed away. They asked for more time to figure out what to do next.
The judge, Dr. Justice A.D. Maria Clete, was in charge. The judge waited to see if anyone would take action to keep the case going. But as time went by, no one stepped up to represent the deceased parties.
"It is seen from the records that till date, no steps have been taken to bring on record the legal representatives," the judgment noted.
With no legal representatives coming forward, the court had no choice but to dismiss the case. The official term for this is "abated due to efflux of time," which basically means the case ran out of time.
The case was dismissed without any costs, meaning no one had to pay court fees. This case shows how unexpected events can change the course of legal proceedings and why it's crucial to act quickly when circumstances change.
