Ansal Housing and Construction Limited and its functionary–opposite parties (petitioners herein) are in revision against the order dated June 14^th, 2017 passed by District Consumer Disputes Redressal Forum, Panchkula (for short ‘District Forum’), whereby the petitioners were proceeded ex parte.

2.      Learned counsel for the petitioners has urged that the counsel engaged by the petitioners could not appear before the District Forum on June 14^th, 2017 and as such, the petitioners were proceeded ex parte. The next date of hearing before the District Forum is October 06^th, 2017.

3.      Be that as it may and without delving deeper, this Commission is of the opinion that ends of justice would be met if the impugned order is set aside and opportunity is granted to the petitioners to file written version and contest the complaint. 

4.      Accordingly, this revision petition is accepted and the impugned order is set aside subject to the conditional cost of Rs.3,000/- which is to be paid by the petitioners to the respondent-complainant, on the date fixed, before the District Forum. Consequently, the petitioners are accorded opportunity to file written version and join the proceedings.

5.      This revision petition is disposed of without issuing notice to the respondent with a view to impart substantive justice to the parties and to save the huge expenses, which may be incurred by the respondent as also in order to avoid unnecessary delay in adjudication of the matter.  In this regard, reliance can be placed on a Division Bench Judgment of Hon’ble Punjab and Haryana High Court rendered in Batala Machine Tools Workshop Cooperative Vs. Presiding Officer, Labour Court, Gurdaspur (CWP No.9563 of 2002) decided on June 27^th, 2002.

6.      The petitioners are directed to appear before the District Forum, on October 06^th, 2017, the date already fixed.

7.      Copy of this order be sent to the District Forum.
