Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed the procedural issues surrounding the dismissal of a second appeal under Section 100 of the Code of Civil Procedure, 1908, due to non-prosecution. The Court held that the High Court's dismissal of the appeal against respondent no.3 was improper as the appellant had made efforts to comply with procedural requirements. The Court ultimately restored the appeal, emphasizing the importance of fair opportunity to litigants in civil proceedings.
