Mr. A has brought a property suit against B. The trial court decreed the suit against B, and for that, B filed an appeal but unfortunately, B’s lawyer withdrew B’s appeal without B’s consent and it eventually went in favor of A. So please guide that what option B has in this scenario?

B may file an application for fraud and misrepresentation in accordance with Section 12(2) of the Civil Procedure Code of 1908. B must show that fraud was committed against B and that the trial court granted B’s counsel withdrawal application in defiance of the actual circumstances. B must show that the decision to withdraw the appeal was taken without B’s authorization, consent, and knowledge and the same was the result of fraud and misrepresentation.
