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 this consumer complaint was admitted on 27/01/2016 and notice was directed to be issued calling upon the Opposite Party to file written version.  Order dated 27/01/2016 was passed in presence of the Complainant. Thus, Complainant was well-aware about the order dated 27/01/2016.  However, thereafter on all subsequent adjourned dates Complainant chose to consistently remain absent before this Forum and did not comply with earlier order passed by this Forum by taking appropriate steps for service of notice to the Opposite Party.  Thus, it appears that the Complainant has lost his interest in further prosecution of present consumer complaint.  In such circumstances, it is not desirable to prolong the complaint proceeding.  Hence, in accordance with provisions of Section-13(2)(c) of the Consumer Protection Act, 1986 read with Rule-4(7) of the Maharashtra Consumer Protection Rules, 2000, present consumer complaint stands dismissed for want of prosecution.  No order as to costs.
