Order below Exh-1
The plaintiff and his advocate are absent. On perusing record, it appears that plaintiff has filed this suit on 21.01.2019. Further, Order was passed to proceed matter ex-parte against defendants on 06.10.2023, since then matter is pending for evidence of plaintiff. The plaintiff was given opportunity to file evidence on 03.01.2024, 12.02.2024, 12.04.2024, 14.06.2024, 25.07.2024, 09.10.2024, 16.01.2025, 20.02.2025, 23.04.2025, 04.07.2025, 13.08.2025, 25.09.2025, 13.11.2025 and 20.12.2025. Though plaintiff was given ample opportunity to file ex-parte evidence, plaintiff has failed to file ex-parte evidence more than one and half year. This shows that plaintiff is not interested in conducting the matter. Therefore, no purpose would serve by keeping the matter pending. Hence, I proceed to pass following order-
