Hon’ble Mr. Ajeya Matilal, Presiding Member

          Ld. Advocates for both parties are present.

          Heard the submission of both sides.

          Considered.

          Being aggrieved by and dissatisfied with final order dt. 16.09.2019 passed by Ld. DCDRC Kolkata, Unit II in CC/192/2019 allowing the case ex parte against the OP with litigation costs of Rs. 5000/-, appellant / OP preferred this appeal.

          Ld. Advocate for the appellant submits that they could not take proper steps for contesting the complaint case because of some technical problems.

          The Ld. Advocate for the respondent raised objection.

          Considering the facts and circumstances, we are of the view that the instant appeal should be allowed for proper adjudication of the disputes between the parties subject to payment of cost.

          Hence it is ordered

          A/147/2020 is allowed on contest on payment of cost of Rs. 2000/- payable to the respondent. Parties are directed to appear before the Ld. Forum below on 07.08.2024. On that day, the appellant / OP shall file W.V.

          After giving opportunity to both parties of adducing evidence including examination in chief, cross examination etc, the Forum below is requested to dispose of the case within 3 months from the date of appearance. Order of stay, if there is any, in connection with this appeal stands vacated. Let a copy of this order be sent to the Ld. Forum below.

          Joint Registrar of this Commission is directed to do the needful in this regard.
