DATE : 21ST MARCH 2011. P.C. : This matter was transferred to the list of undefended Suits by an order dated 23rd July 1997 when the Advocate for the Plaintiffs was present. Though the matter appeared before this Court on 3rd July 1998 for ex-parte decree, i.e. after more than a year, the Plaintiffs were not ready with their evidence as well as the documents and therefore, took time upto 8th July 1998. Thereafter, the Plaintiffs did not bother to pursue the above Suit and obtain an ex-parte decree for 12 long years. On 18th January 2011, the Suit appeared for ex-parte decree when the Plaintiffs were again not ready with the evidence and/or the documents. This Court therefore directed the Plaintiffs to file Affidavit in lieu of the evidence and the compilation of documents directly in Court on 22nd February 2011. It was further clarified that if the order is not complied with, the Suit would be dismissed. The Plaintiffs despite getting time of four weeks failed and neglected to comply with the order dated 18th January 2 s-3843-92 2011. In view thereof, on 22nd February 2011, this Court recorded that the order dated 18th January 2011 is not complied with by the Plaintiffs and the matter was adjourned to 9th March 2011 for dismissal of the Suit. Thereafter, the matter has appeared today. Though the Plaintiffs once again got an opportunity to comply with the order dated 18th January 2011, they have till date not complied with the same. The learned Advocate appearing for the Plaintiffs states that the Plaintiffs are unable to trace their papers. In view thereof the Suit is dismissed for want of prosecution. [ S.J. KATHAWALLA, J. ]
