Facts of the Case
Background
The first respondent purchased property from a judgment debtor but failed to transfer ownership due to unpaid capital gains tax. The property was attached and sold in execution. The respondent filed an application to set aside the sheriff's decision but failed to prosecute it within the required time, leading to the present application for dismissal for want of prosecution.
