When the defendant shows up but the plaintiff doesn't, Order IX Rule 8 treats this as the plaintiff abandoning their case. The dismissal operates as a decision on merits (bar to fresh suit), unlike other non-appearance dismissals which allow refiling.

  1. 1 Pick up CPC.
  2. 2 Go to Order IX Rule 8.
  3. 3 Read: 'where defendant appears and plaintiff does not appear, Court shall dismiss the suit.'
  4. 4 This dismissal under Order IX Rule 8 bars a fresh suit (operates as res judicata).
  5. 5 Other dismissals (Rules 2, 3) allow fresh suits.
The text reads: Order IX Rule 8: If defendant appears but plaintiff doesn't, suit is dismissed. This dismissal bars a fresh suit.
