**R. L. JAIN T/A JAIN LTD ] RESPONDENT**

**Before: Hon Justice Ocaya Thomas O. R.**

## **RULING**

This application was filed on the **4th April 2022**. I have perused the court file on ECCMIS and established that, since the filing of the application, the Applicant has taken no step to try and prosecute the same. It's now a period over to 2 years. On the 26th June 2023 I noted on the ECCMIS that the documents had not been uploaded and directed the Applicant to do so. This to date has not been complied with by the Applicant.

In the premises, this Application is dismissed for want of prosecution under the provision of S 17 (2) (a) of the Judicature Act (formerly CAP 6 Cap) now CAP 16 Laws of Uganda 7th Edition revised laws of Uganda) which provides; *with regard to its own procedures and those of the Magistrates' Courts, the High Court shall exercise its inherent powers—(a)to prevent abuse of process of the court by curtailing delays, in trials and delivery of judgement including the power to limit and discontinue delayed prosecutions*

As the application was not served I make no order as to costs
