Ruling

1. This matter is for mention for parties to show cause why the suit should not be dismissed for want of prosecution. There is no appearance by either party and or their respective counsel. There is no representation to explain their absence.

2. This has been the trend since 15th June, 2022 when the matter was fixed for mention on 14th July, 2022. It is clear that the parties have lost interest in having this case prosecuted; a result of which the suit is dismissed for want of prosecution as provided for under Order 17 Rule 2 of the Civil Procedure Rules.

It is so ordered.
