DATE DATE DATE : 5TH SEPTEMBER, 2008. : 5TH SEPTEMBER, 2008. : 5TH SEPTEMBER, 2008. P.C.: P.C.: P.C.: . Mr.Vaishnawa, the learned Advocate for the Plaintiffs, states that he has returned the papers to the Plaintiffs and has not been : 8 : appearing for the Plaintiffs for want of necessary instructions. 2. Mr.A.Y. Sakhare, learned Senior Counsel for the Defendant Nos.1 and 2, informs that these Suits have peculiar and checkered history. I need not mention all the facts that are informed to me across the Bar, but I have realised that the Plaintiffs have not only stopped giving necessary instructions to their Advocate, but probably have stopped prosecuting the cases. However, I cannot say this with certainty today. In case the Plaintiffs are not interested in prosecuting the cases, the Suits should be dismissed without framing of issues. 3. In order to find out as to whether the Plaintiffs or any one of them is interested in prosecuting the Suit, I would pass following order which would suffice the ends of justice :- "O "O "O R D E R" R D E R" R D E R" "The office shall issue letters to the Plaintiffs at the addresses mentioned in the plaints informing them that their : 9 : personal presence is required before the Court for recording statements under Order X Rule 2 of the C.P.C. The office shall further inform them that in case they do not appear before the Court on the next date of hearing, the Suits would be dismissed for non-prosecution. Mr.Vaishnawa also agreed to send similar letters to the Plaintiffs. The matter Stands adjourned to 3rd October, 2008, for dismissal." [A.V. [A.V. [A.V. NIRGUDE, J.] NIRGUDE, J.] NIRGUDE, J.]
