FORMERLY MERU ELC CIVIL APPEAL  NO. 86 OF 2013

ESTHER MBOTHI.................................APPELLANT

VERSUS

JACINTA MUTANI KIRIGU.............RESPONDENT

RULING

1.  When the parties were to come to court on 3. 5.2018 to show cause why this suit should not be dismissed for want of prosecution in terms of order 42 rule 35(2) of the Civil Procedure Rules, they did not turn up. The matter had been listed for dismissal before me.

2.  I am satisfied that the apposite notice was properly issued.

3.  I find that the parties have failed to show cause why this suit should not be dismissed for want of prosecution in terms of order 42 rule 35(2) of the Civil Procedure Rules. The suit, therefore, merits dismissal.

4.  The suit is dismissed.

5.  It is so ordered.

Delivered in open Court at Chuka this 3rd day of May, 2018 in the presence of:

CA: Ndegwa
