Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the High Court's dismissal of the appellants' Regular First Appeal No.522 of 2015, affirming the ex-parte decree in favor of the respondent/plaintiff for permanent injunction regarding Site No.4307. The Court emphasized that the appellants failed to appear in the original suit, leading to the ex-parte decision, and granted the appellants liberty to institute independent proceedings to establish their claim. The judgment reinforces the principle that failure to contest a suit can result in an ex-parte decree, which is binding unless set aside.
