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 Complainant was absent even on previous date viz. 31/01/2017.  Complainant did not take appropriate steps for service of notice to the Opposite Party in compliance with earlier order dated 31/01/2017 passed by this Forum.  Thus, it does appear to this Forum that Complainant has lost his interest in further prosecution of present consumer complaint.  This is an old consumer complaint pending since the year 2011.  In such circumstances, it is not desirable to prolong the case.  Hence, consumer complaint stands dismissed for want of prosecution in accordance with the provisions of Section-13(2)(c) of the Consumer Protection Act, 1986 read with Rule-4(7) of the Maharashtra Consumer Protection Rules, 2000.  Parties shall bear their own costs.
