ORAL ORDER

Per – Hon’ble Mr. V. P. Utpat, President

          None present for the Complainant even on second call.  Today Complainant failed to appear before this Forum without any sufficient reason.  Perusal of the order-sheet reveals that so was the position even on previous date viz. 05/12/2016.  By an earlier order dated 06/05/2016, Complainant was permitted to take appropriate steps for service of notice to the Opposite Party by substituted service by public citation through paper publication.  However, till today Complainant has not complied with said order and there is no report available on record as regards service of notice to the Opposite Party.  Thus, in these peculiar circumstances, it does appear to this Forum that Complainant has lost his interest in further prosecution of present consumer complaint.  Thus, it is not desirable to prolong the case.  Hence, consumer complaint stands dismissed for want of prosecution as contemplated under Section-13(2)(c) of the Consumer Protection Act, 1986 read with Rule-4(7) of the Maharashtra Consumer Protection Regulations, 2000.  No order as to costs.
