Case Record taken up today for hearing. Parties are absent on call. However, in view of Section 38(3) ( c) of C.P.Act,2019 case is taken up for final disposal on merit.
Paused the material available o n record. The complainant has alleged deficiency in service and unfair trade practice on the part of O.ps for non release of investment amount of Rs.28,550/- which was book for Gold quantity of 16 gram valued rupees 45,680/- in Sahara Gold Bank scheme vide receipt No.92000121025 booking Id 24214700026 the maturity date of which is 25.06.2017.
Notice to the O.Ps in this case is duly served vide register post consignment No.RO074205995IN date of confirmation deliver is 05.07.2022 to the O.P 2 and to the O.P 1 through the Peon Book of the office dt.03.03.2021 but none of the O.Ps have appeared to contest this complaint.
Many opportunities have been given to the complainant for hearing but it is found that, the complainant is remaining absent consistently. Sec.38(6) of C.P.Act,2019 casts an obligation on the District Commission to decide a complaint on the basis of the evidence brought to its notice by the complainant and the service provider irrespective of whether the service provider adduced evidence or not, the decision of the District Commission has to be based on evidence relied upon by the complainant.
Here in this case, no cogent evidence is adduced by the complainant to substantiate his claim. So also the documents filed there in the complainant petition have not authenticated to be true to be consider as evidence in support of the complainant. No cogent evidence is adduced to prove the complaint allegation though it is the duty of the complainant to prove his case. Law is well settled that, mere pleading cannot construe as evidence and it may not be taken as evidence. Complainant has failed to prove that, he is a consumer of O.Ps as defined in C.P Act. and also he has failed to prove that there is any negligence or deficiency in service on the part of O.ps.
We found no merit in this complaint. Hence, dismissed against the O.Ps. However, no order as to cost.
