ORDER This revision petition is directed against the order of the State Commission dated 16.06.2017 whereby the State Commission dismissed the revision petition filed by the petitioners against the order of the District Forum refusing to take the written version of the petitioners on record. 2. A perusal of the impugned order would show that the notice of the consumer complaint was served upon the petitioners on 20.04.2016. They sought to file the written version on 07.06.2016 about 48 days after the receipt of the notice. 3. In our opinion, the delay in filing the written version being rather insignificant, ought to have been condoned, subject to the payment of costs to the complainant. The impugned orders are, therefore, set aside and the written version filed by the petitioners is taken on record, subject to the petitioners paying a sum of Rs.25,000/- as costs to the complainant. 4. The parties shall appear before the District Forum on the next date of hearing fixed before it. On that date, the District Forum, subject to payment of costs imposed upon the petitioners, shall proceed with the complaint after taking the written version of the petitioners into consideration. The District Forum is also directed to decide the complaint within six months of the parties appearing before it. 5. The revision petition is disposed of accordingly. |
