FINAL    ORDER

E.M.MUHAMMED IBRAHIM , B.A, LL.M, President

This is a case based on a complaint filed U/s 35 of the Consumer Protection Act against Popular Traders  and its Branch Managers by claiming refund of Rs. 13,00,000/- covered by three  fixed deposits made by the complainant at the office of the opposite parties. 

Though notice was served opposite parties remained absent and they were set exparte.  Though the case was posted for recording exparte evidence.  The complainant has not turned up and adduced exparte evidence.  Today when the case was called in the bench for recording exparte evidence the learned counsel for the complainant has submitted that he has no instruction from the complainant.  The submission was recorded.

In the circumstances we are of the view that the complainant is not intending to adduce any oral evidence.  The  two documents produced along with complaint are only unattested photo copy of two  F.D receipts for Six Lakhs.   In view of Section 114(i)of the Indian Evidence Act  copy of the FD receipts cannot be acted up on without producing the originals or examining the complainant.  In the circumstances there is absolutely no evidence to prove the allegations in the complaint and the complaint is only to be dismissed.

In the result complaint stands dismissed.

Dated this the      28^th   day of   November   2022.
