The High Court of Madhya Pradesh dismissed an appeal against the order of XI ADJ, Jabalpur, rejecting a petition to set aside an ex parte judgment and decree in a civil suit filed for recovery of excise duty. The appellants failed to file a written statement for over ten years despite being duly represented by their Counsel, leading to the dismissal of their appeal. The court found no sufficient cause for their non-appearance and upheld the original judgment. The appeal was deemed without merit and costs were to be borne by the parties.
