State Bank of India & Anr. ..Plaintiffs. vs. Copper Conductors Company. ..Defendant. .... Mr. R.J. Singh, for Plaintiffs. None for Defendant. .... CORAM : S.J. KATHAWALLA, J. DATE : 29TH APRIL 2011. P.C. : The Suit is of the year 1999 i.e. 21 years old. Though the Prothonotary and Senior Master by an order dated 18th July 2007 had transferred the Suit to the list of undefended Suits and the Plaintiffs had more than three years to prepare for an Ex-parte Decree, the Plaintiffs in the last more than three years have not been ready with the documents and the Affidavit of Evidence. Despite such conduct on the part of the Plaintiffs, this Court [Coram : R.Y. Ganoo, J.] by order dated 1st March 2011 granted time to file Affidavit in lieu of Evidence and compilation of Documents directly in Court upto 31st March 2011. It was also clarified that if the Plaintiffs fail to comply with the said directions, appropriate orders shall be passed in the Suit. The Suit was therefore adjourned to 31st March 2011. The Suit was thereafter adjourned to 28th April 2011 when none appeared for the Plaintiffs. The Suit was therefore adjourned to 29th April 2011 i.e. today. 2 907.s-3700-99 2. Today, the learned Advocate appearing for the Plaintiffs informs the Court that the Plaintiffs are unable to trace the documents and he seeks further time. As stated above as the Suit is of the year 1999, the Plaintiffs ought to have been ready with the documents from the year 2007, when the Suit was transferred to the list of undefended Suits. However, the Plaintiffs failed to do so. Despite one more opportunity given to them by an order dated 1st March 2011. The Plaintiffs have failed to comply with the same till date. 3. In view thereof, it is established beyond any doubt that the Plaintiffs are not interested in prosecuting the Suit. The Suit is therefore dismissed for want of prosecution. [ S.J. KATHAWALLA, J. ]
