JUDGMENT
The learned counsel for the plaintiff is present. He would submit that he is unable to get instructions in this matter. It was earlier informed by the very same counsel appearing for the Liquidator appointed for the plaintiff Company that the plaintiff Company is under Liquidation and the debt has been assigned in favour of Canara Bank. Recording the said representation, time was granted by this Court to enable the counsel for the Liquidator to get instructions. Sufficient time has already been granted by this Court. As seen from the earlier proceedings, the matter is listed under the caption “for dismissal”, today, only for the said reason and since, the learned counsel for the plaintiff was not present on the last hearing date. Canara Bank has also not taken steps, till date in this proceedings to prosecute the claim. It can now be inferred that the plaintiff is not interested in prosecuting the suit. Accordingly, this suit is dismissed for non prosecution. No costs. Consequently, connected
