Case Note & Summary
The case involved an appeal filed by Manti Devi against the United Bank of India. The Patna High Court noted that on the date of the hearing, no one appeared on behalf of the appellants. The court reviewed the office note and observed that the appellant had not complied with a previous order dated 04.02.1998, which required fresh service of notice on respondents 2 and 3.
