Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed the appeal concerning the dismissal of CMP No. 266 of 1987, which sought to set aside an ex-parte order from 1987. The Court held that the non-appearance of the appellant's counsel was not wilful due to health issues, thus validating his affidavit. However, it ruled that the order rejecting the review application was not appealable under Clause 12 of the Letters Patent and that the application under Order 47 Rule 7 of the CPC was not maintainable, leading to the dismissal of the appeal.
