The Suit has been placed repeatedly before the Court for filing of affidavit of documents and evidence. The issues were framed as early as on 23rd February 2006. I had extended the time to file the affidavit of documents and evidence at the request of Mr. Fadia on 5th January 2009. 2. I had noted the statement of Mr. Fadia about receiving telephonic instructions. However, Mr. Fadia states that neither the Plaintiffs have handed over to him a complete statement of accounts duly certified under the Bankers Books of Evidence Act nor they have given instructions to proceed with the matter. These state of affairs cannot continue endlessly. The Suit is of the year 1984. It is pending in this Court for the last more than 24 years without any outcome. :2: 3. In these circumstances, I am of the view that the Plaintiffs are not interested in proceeding with the Suit. They ought to have come forward and given instructions to their Advocate. No further adjournment as prayed by Mr. Fadia can be granted now. The Suit is, therefore, dismissed for want of prosecution. (S.C. (S.C. (S.C. DHARMADHIKARI,J.) DHARMADHIKARI,J.) DHARMADHIKARI,J.)
