Respondent(s) CORAM: HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE G.S. SANDHAWALIA Present: None for the appellant. Mr. S.C. Chhabra, Advocate for the respondent No.2. G.S. SANDHAWALIA, J. (Oral): The present appeal has been filed against the denial of interest to plaintiff-Bank in a suit for recovery of ` 54,850/-. The suit was dismissed by the trial Court. However, the Lower Appellate Court in an appeal decreed the suit while accepting the appeal. The appellant-Bank is aggrieved against the non-grant of interest. None has put in appearance on behalf of the Bank though the case was called twice since morning. Even on the last date of hearing, none had appeared on behalf of the appellant. Accordingly, the present appeal is dismissed in default, without going into the merits of the case, keeping in view the dictum of the Hon'ble Supreme Court in Abdur Rahman & others vs. Athifa Begum & others (1996) 6 SCC 62.
