Shri Arjun Sohpdang & Anr. Vs. Smt. Philet Rynjah

the trial court instead of dismissing the suit on 07.08.2018 had passed the impugned order which is contrary to the statutory provision contained in Order IX Rule 8 CPC. Consequently, this revision petition is allowed and the impugned order is set aside with the clarification that under the circumstances the suit shall be deemed to have been dismissed on 07.08.2018 in terms of Order IX Rule 8 CPC as the respondent-plaintiff had failed to put in appearance on the said date
