This is an appeal filed by the Respondent/opp.party in E.A.62/2013 in C.C.No.180/2010 on the file of District Forum, Ranga Reddy Dist. The Dist.Forum by its Docket Order dt.1.9.2014 directed the respondent/opp.party in E.A.No.62/2013 to deposit the amount as directed by the appellate authority in F.A.No.230/2013 on or before 29.9.2014. Against the said order, the respondent/opp.party in the said E.A. preferred this appeal.
For the sake of convenience, the parties are described as they arrayed in the complaint.
The brief case of the complainant as set out in the complaint is as follows:
The complainant herein is the absolute owner of house property bearing H.No.2-19-50 situated at Kalyanpuri Colony, Uppal, R.R.Dist. and he entered into Construction Agreement including material and labour expenses on 11.1.2010 with opp.party herein for building a house in the ground floor + first floor and the opp.party agreed to construct the slab area @ Rs.700/- per sft. i.e. for an amount of Rs.16,34,000/- and the complainant paid an advance amount of Rs.12,80,000/- to the opp.party. As per the said Construction Agreement, the opp.party has to complete the construction of house within 5 months from the date of agreement. But he failed to complete the construction of house as agreed. Hence the complainant approached the District Forum to direct the opp.party to pay an amount of Rs.4 lakhs towards damages for mental agony besides financial loss, to award compensation of Rs.10,000/-, and to award Rs.10,000/- towards costs of the complaint
The opp.party filed counter before the District Forum denying all the allegations made in the complaint and contending that the complainant paid the amount for material and construction of ground and first floor only and the complainant has got no right to claim anything from the opp.party and instead he is liable to pay Rs.5 lakhs for material and labour charges of the 2nd floor which was incurred by the opp.party from his personal account. Therefore, the opp.party prayed to dismiss the complaint with costs.
The District Forum partly allowed the complaint directing the opp.party to pay Rs.2,92,500/- to the complainant and also directed to pay Rs.10,000/- towards compensation.
Aggrieved by the said order the opp.party preferred F.A.No.230/2013 before this Commission. The said appeal was allowed partly setting aside the relief for compensation of Rs.10,000/- while confirming rest of the order. The complainant filed E.A.no.62/2013 before the Dist. Forum to punish the opp.party for non compliance of the order of the District Forum in C.C.No.180/2010. The Dist.Forum by its docket order dt.1.9.2014 in the said E.A.62/2013 directed the opp.party to deposit the amount as directed by the appellate authority in F.A.No.230/2013 on or before the 29.9.2014. The opp.party filed the present appeal praying to set aside the said order dt.1.9.2014 in E.A.No.62/2013.
Today there is no representation for the appellant/respondent/ opp.party. Counsel for the respondent/petitioner/complainant is present. In view of the docket order dt.7.4.2016, the appeal was posted to this day under the caption for ‘Dismissal’. Even today also there is no representation on behalf of the appellant/respondent/ opp.party. As such, there is no other go, for this Commission, except to dismiss the appeal for default.
In the result, this appeal is accordingly dismissed for default.
