Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court dismissed the appeal in default due to the appellant's indeterminate address in Canada and unsuccessful attempts to serve notice at the Chandigarh address, which was reported as 'addressee left'. The Court held that proper service of notice is essential for the continuation of proceedings, and failure to provide a valid address warrants dismissal of the appeal. Consequently, the earlier orders of the lower courts were upheld, resulting in no costs awarded.
