I have heard learned Counsel for the appellant and perused memo of appeal as well as impugned order. The appeal is within time.
:2:
Admit and register appeal.
Vide impugned judgment and order the complaint has been dismissed in default of complainants. As such the appeal is disposed of finally at the stage of admission itself.
Perusal of impugned order shows that Complaint No. 318 of 2017 Archana Bharat Gas V/s Manager, Voltas Limited and others has been dismissed on 18-07-2017 by District Consumer Forum-II, Lucknow in default of complainant.
As the impugned order shows that respondents were not present before District Consumer Forum, therefore, I find no need to issue notices
to the respondents.
Appellant has shown sufficient reason for his absence on date fixed.
In view of above, I am of the view that appeal should be allowed and exparte order dated 18-07-2017 should be set aside.
In view of above, the appeal is allowed. Impugned order dated 18-07-2017 passed by District Consumer Forum-II, Lucknow in Complaint Case No. 318 of 2017 Archana Bharat Gas V/s Manager, Voltas Limited and others is set aside.
