Article 112

Where there is a failure to appear by one or more of several plaintiffs, the court may, upon application of the plaintiff or plaintiffs appearing, permit the suit to proceed in the same way as if all the plaintiffs had appeared, or issue such order as it deems fit.

Where one or more of several defendants, although duly served upon, fail to appear, the suit shall proceed, and the court shall, at time of pronouncing judgment, issue such order as it deems fit with respect to the defendants who did not appear.
