JUSTICE SHRI. K.R. UDAYABHANU:PRESIDENT
Appellants are the 1st opposite party/dealer in CC.36/2010 in the file of CDRF, Palakkad. Appellant is under orders to pay a sum of Rs.21,690/- and compensation of Rs.5000/- towards cost.
2. Appellant was exparte before the Forum. It is submitted that the counsel who was entrusted, omitted to represent the matter.
3. Although we find that the reason mentioned is such cannot be treated as a proper one, a considered order would be desirable. In the circumstances, the order of the Forum is set aside on condition that the appellant/1st opposite party pay a sum of Rs.6000/- towards cost to the complainant or deposit the same before the Forum which can be withdrawn by the complainant. On payment of cost, the Forum will permit the opposite parties to file version and contest the case. The Forum will issue notice to the complainant. The case stands posted before the Forum on 28/2/2011.
Office will forward copy of this order to the Forum at the earliest.
