Passage Text
- For the foregoing, I dismiss this application for want of prosecution.
- It is my view that from the foregoing occurrences, it seems that applicant has lost interest in the application, which is why, she has decided not to attend or give notice of absence. This court cannot continue to adjourn this application now and then. It seems, applicant has filed this application with a view of turning the Court into storage facility of her grievance against the respondent. That cannot be accepted. This Court is not a storage facility, rather, it is a place for dispensation of justice.
