1. This old suit is of the year 1998. Already this suit was once dismissed in default on 21.11.2011, and thereafter it was restored on 28.2.2012. Subsequently, on 1.5.2012, no one appeared for the parties and in the interest of justice, the case was re-notified. Today, although it is 1.00 P.M. no one appears for the parties.
