We are conscious of the fact that a remand results into waste of time, money and energy to the parties and particularly to a consumer but we must say yhat we are helpless in this matter. We, therefore, allow the appeal and set aside the impugned order and remand the case to the Lr. District Forum with a direction to decide the application for amendment filed by the complainant first and, then allow the parties to produce their evidence in support of their respective claims and then only decide the complaint on merits, with all objections. This excercise to be completed by the Lr. District Forum within a period of 45 days uninfluenced by the observations made in the impugned order or this order. Parties are directed to appear before the Lr. District Forum on 13^th instant at 10:30 am.
