The High Court of Odisha at Cuttack dismissed the Civil Miscellaneous Petition (CMP No. 340 of 2017) filed by M/s. Bhawani Motors against Smt. Saroja Rath and Sri Naraya Rath. The petition challenged a 17‑Feb‑2017 order rejecting the defendant’s application for permission to file a written statement. After a stay was issued on 17‑Apr‑2017, the Court noted that no notice could be issued due to non‑filing of requisites and the petitioner failed to appear for nine years, leading to the presumption that the underlying suit was disposed. Consequently, the CMP was dismissed, the earlier interim order vacated, and Misc. Case No. 383 of 2017 disposed. This content may not be financially relevant.
