Kesho Ram (Dead) By L.Rs vs Hem Raj

The Supreme Court held that the non-appearance of the appellant's counsel, Mr. K.D. Raina, was not wilful due to his ill-health, thus justifying the acceptance of his affidavit. However, the Court ruled that the order rejecting the review application was not appealable under Clause 12 of the Letters Patent Rules, and that the application under Order 47 Rule 7 of the CPC was not maintainable. Consequently, the appeal was dismissed, affirming the lower court's decision.
