JUSTICE ALOK JAIN oh 2 2h 3 Present: None. 2 2K 3 Oe ALOK JAIN, J. (Oral)
1. The present appeal arises out of the judgment and decree dated 27.07.2018 passed by the Court below, whereby, the suit of the plaintiff- appellant was dismissed under Order 17, Rule 3 CPC on the ground that the plaintiff appellant failed to produce even an iota of evidence and after tendering his affidavit in the examination-in-chief, he failed to appear thereafter for facing the cross-examination.
2. The first appeal filed against the above said judgment and decree also came to be dismissed not only on account of delay which was unexplained but also on the ground that despite giving ample opportunities to the plaintiffs, they miserably failed to pursue their case with due diligence which led to dismissal of the appeal on 27.07.2018 and subsequently the present appeal was filed.

5. Accordingly, the present appeal is dismissed.
