Hello Mr. Khan, In your situation, where the plaintiff and their advocate have consistently failed to appear in court over the past two years, you have grounds to seek dismissal of the suit. Under Order IX, Rule 8 of the Code of Civil Procedure, 1908, if the defendant appears and the plaintiff does not, the court may dismiss the suit. To initiate this, you should file an application requesting dismissal due to the plaintiff’s non-appearance and lack of prosecution.

To get to know more about the detailed procedure, and precedents in your favour, reach me out at adv.vishesh@icloud.com

File application in the concerned court for dismissal of case stating reasons for it.

T. Kalaiselvan, Advocate (Advocate)     27 February 2025

you can instruct your advocate to take up this matter before court due to continuous absence of the plaintiff who appears not interested to prosecute further and if necessary he can file a petition seeking dismissal of the suit for the reason that the plaintiff is not interested in further prosecuting the case.
