Holding
The application is dismissed with costs to the defendant as there was no error in the orders issued on 12th March 2018 and there is no live suit to be prosecuted since the plaintiffs withdrew the same on 25th May 2016.
Facts
The plaintiffs moved the court seeking orders to review an order made on 12th March 2018, set aside the order, extend time for compliance with Order 11, and claim costs. The defendant opposed the application, alleging inordinate delay and fraudulent scheme.
Issues
- Whether the court made an error on the face of the record when referring to the defendant's application as dated 31st January 2013 instead of 22nd March 2016.
- Whether the plaintiff's notice of withdrawal was properly filed and endorsed, and if so, whether the court had the authority to dismiss the suit for want of prosecution.
Reasoning
The court found no error in the orders issued on 12th March 2018 and dismissed the application as there was no live suit to be prosecuted since the plaintiffs withdrew the suit on 25th May 2016.
