1 IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY O. O. C. J. SUIT NO.3087 OF 1994 Mahanagar Telephone Nigam Limited and anr. ..Plaintiffs. Vs. Bhagat Singh Dham .. Defendant. ..... Ms. S.I. Shah for the Plaintiffs. None for the Defendant. .... CORAM: DR. D.Y. CHANDRACHUD, J. 14th January, 2008. P.C. : On 5th July, 2007 the following order was passed by Mr. Justice S.C. Dharmadhikari : “Ms. Shah, learned Advocate appearing for the plaintiff states that the plaintiff would require time to trace the originals. She states that the original bills in this case are always with the subscriber- original defendant. However, copies thereof have to be traced in the relevant file so also, she seeks time to trace the register / record of the bills and details of the subscriber in question. Needless to state that unless all these documents are available, there is no question of a decree passed in favour of the plaintiff for want of written statement. If the documents are not traceable or filed in this Court within a period of three weeks from today, the suit shall stand dismissed without any further reference to the Court.” 2 Counsel appearing for the Plaintiffs states that the file relating to the suit cannot be traced and that even duplicate copies of the bills issued to the subscriber are not available. This being the position, the consequences envisaged in the order dated 5th July, 2007 have ensued. The suit is accordingly dismissed for want of prosecution.
