JUDGMENT
The matter is listed under the caption “for dismissal”, today. There is no representation on the side of the plaintiffs once again. The learned counsel for the defendants 1 to 7 is present. Even on the last hearing date i.e., on 06.12.2021, the learned counsel for the defendants submitted before this Court that the suit has now become infructuous, since the election pertains to the year 2019 and the office bearers have already taken charge. Since there is no representation on the side of the plaintiffs, it can now be inferred that the plaintiffs are not interested to prosecute this Civil Suit. Accordingly, the Civil Suit is dismissed as non prosecution. No costs.
