    Suit is filed on 14.03.2020, as Commercial Suit No. 1001145 / 2021, for recovery of Rs. 18,31,573/- with interest @ of 18 percent per annum.
    My Learned predecessor has framed issues at Exh.6 on 06.10.2023 since the suit is pending for evidence of plaintiff.
    Roznama shows that, plaintiff filed evidence affidavit on 01.12.2023. However, he did not filed List of documents. Since then, plaintiff is continuously absent.
    Vide roznama Orders 04.07.2023, 24.07.2023, 01.12.2023, 06.02.2024, 20.02.2024 and 29.02.2024, plaintiff was directed to take steps. Despite that, plaintiff failed to take steps.
    Sufficient time and opportunities were available to the plaintiff for taking steps.
    It appears that, plaintiff is not interested in trial and hence, is not taking any steps. It is also not his case that, the dispute is subjudice before the Honorable Appellate Court and hence he is not taking any steps.
    No reason is forthcoming for absence and inactivity of plaintiff. Therefore, no purpose would be served by keeping the Suit  pending for indefinite period. Hence, following order is passed.
    Order
    1.   Commercial Suit No. 101145 / 2021, Kiran Metal V/s Naresh Punamia,  is dismissed for want of prosecution.
    2.  Order dictated and pronounced in open Court at 17.00 Hrs.
