Case Note & Summary
The judgment arose from a civil revision application filed in the High Court of Judicature at Bombay. The applicant's notice was issued but returned unserved with a remark indicating that the person could not be found at the registered address provided. The court noted that the applicant had not complied with Rule 14A of Order VI of the Code of Civil Procedure, 1908, which mandates the supply of a correct address. Due to this non-compliance, the court found it necessary to dismiss the revision application for non-prosecution. The court emphasized the importance of adhering to procedural rules to ensure the proper administration of justice. Ultimately, the application was dismissed as the applicant failed to fulfill the requirements for service of notice.
