Considering that the dispute pertains to 2000 and we are now in 2019, and considering that the appeal has been pending in this Commission since 2015, and considering the chronological sequence of proceedings before the Registry and before the Bench, we, now, do not find any reason or ground to provide more opportunity for effecting the due warranted service of notice on the respondent no. 1 – complainant (sufficient, and more, opportunity has already been provided). The revision petition is dismissed for faulty / want of prosecution. Needless to add that the State Commission shall undertake execution as per the law. Let a copy each of this Order be sent to the State Commission and to the respondent no. 1 - complainant by the Registry within ten days. The State Commission is also requested to bring this Order to the notice of the complainant ( Lt. Col. Chandra Shekhar Joshi). |
