ORAL ORDER

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

          None present for Complainant even on second call.  Today Complainant failed to appear before this Forum without any sufficient reason.  Perusal of order-sheet reveals that Complainant was absent even on previous date viz. 30/03/2017.  By an earlier order dated 11/11/2016 passed by this Forum, Complainant was directed to take appropriate steps for service of notice to the unserved Opposite Party by substituted service by public citation through paper publication.  However, till today Complainant has failed to comply with said order for the reasons best known to him.  Thus, in these circumstances, it does appear to this Forum that Complainant has lost his interest in further prosecution of present consumer complaint.  In such circumstances, it is not desirable to prolong the case.  Hence, consumer complaint stands dismissed for want of prosecution in accordance with provisions of Section-13(2)(c) of Consumer Protection Act, 1986 read with Rule-4(7) of Maharashtra Consumer Protection Rules, 2000.  Parties shall bear their own costs.
