Both the Courts have<\/p>\n<p>dismissed the suit of the plaintiff since he did not lead any evidence.<\/p>\n<p>Learned counsel for the appellant has argued that on the date when the<\/p>\n<p>evidence of the appellant was closed by court order he was admitted in<\/p>\n<p>hospital and, therefore, one date should have been granted.        There is,<\/p>\n<p>however,nothing to support this assertion.<\/p>\n<p>            The following questions have been proposed:-<\/p>\n<p>            i) Whether both the courts below have returned the findings<br \/>\n               contrary to the evidence on record?\n<\/p>\n<p>            ii) Whether the appellant was not entitled to lead his evidence<br \/>\n<span class=\"hidden_text\"> RSA No. 4291 of 2008(O&amp;M)              2<\/span><\/p>\n<p>               after recovering from ailments?\n<\/p>\n<p>             iii)Whether the delay cannot be condoned where the<br \/>\n               appellant\/plaintiff was pursing a remedy which was<br \/>\n               subsequently held to be not maintainable?\n<\/p>\n<p>             iv)Whether both the courts below have misread the evidence<br \/>\n               and failed tog apply its judicious mind to the facts,<br \/>\n               circumstances of the case?\n<\/p>\n<p>             The only question which arises is question No. (ii) and in<\/p>\n<p>regard to that, I have also noticed that no material was placed on record by<\/p>\n<p>the appellant to substantiate that on the date the evidence was closed he<\/p>\n<p>was admitted in hospital. Consequently I hold question No. (ii) against the<\/p>\n<p>appellant. Questions No. (i), (iii) and (iv) do not arise.<\/p>\n<p>             Consequently this appeal is dismissed.
