JUSTICE SHRI. K.R. UDAYABHANU:   PRESIDENT

The appellants are the opposite parties in CC.223/10 in the file of CDRF, Alappuzha.  The order is an exparte order.

2.      It is pointed out by the counsel for the appellant that the appellants/opposite parties received notice only on 29/11/2010 and the Forum has passed the order on 30/11/2010.  The appellants have also produced documents in this regard ie, the registered postal cover and the tapal register kept by the appellant.  We find that the complaint is seen filed on 22/9/2010.  It appears that there is delay in dispatching the notice to the opposite parties from the Forum.  In the circumstances, the order of the Forum is set aside.  The Forum is directed to permit the opposite parties to contest the matter and dispose of the case on merits.  The Forum will issue notice to the complainant.  The matter stands posted before the Forum on 26/8/2011.
