I have not been through any such ruling; hence won't comment on the same. If you have the copy of the said judgment, please paste it here and based on the same, experts would guide you.
W.r.t. your problem of no progress at evidence stage. We need to know.
1.Has the witnesses been summoned or there is a difficulty to summon them?
2. If so, have they refused to depose/ not coming intentionally?
In the event the summons has been served or all attempts to summon has been futile; request court to issue warrants against such witnesses. (I got it done in my own case and few other cases)
In case; they have been served and they are not deposing; request court to dismiss the case for want of prosecution witnesses.
