This Revision Petition by the Complainant calls in question the correctness of order dated 7.6.2013 passed by the State Consumer Disputes Redressal Commission, Punjab at Chandigarh (for short the State Commission) in F.A. No.257/2008.  By the impugned order, while observing that there is no merit in the Appeal preferred by the Opposite Party/Insurance Company against order dated 10.1.2008 made by the District Consumer Disputes Redressal Forum, Fatehgarh Sahib, Camp at Patiala (for short the District Forum),      in Complaint No.346 dt. 7.9.2006, the State Commission has reduced the amount awarded by the District Forum from a sum of Rs.1 lakh with interest @ 9% from 10.1.2006 till realization to a total sum of Rs.28,875/-.

          We have heard learned counsel for the parties and perused the impugned order.  We are of the view that the matter deserves to be remitted back to the State Commission for fresh adjudication, as there are certain self-contradictory observations in the impugned order.  For instance, in para-5 of the impugned order, while coming to the conclusion that there is no merit in the Appeal preferred by the Insurance Company, in the same sentence, the State Commission has observed that there is no substance in the submissions made by Counsel for the Complainant.

          Consequently, without commenting on the merits of the Appeal, we allow the Revision Petition; set aside the impugned order and remand the case back to the State Commission for fresh adjudication.

          Parties/their counsel are directed to appear before the State Commission on 28.10.2014 for further proceedings.

          The Revision Petition stands disposed of.
