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
