Learned counsel for petitioner present. In terms of our direction notice was issued to respondent and also counsel for parties. However none put appearance for respondent today. After door of consumer fora was knocked by respondent, it is brought to our notice that though petitioner filed written statement they did not participate in proceedings subsequently. Even before State Commission when appeal was filed State Commission in view of gross delay in filing appeal dismissed appeal without going into merits of case. Now petitioner is in revision. The grievance of petitioner Corporation was that though they did not get opportunity to defend their case before both fora below, in the circumstances we direct petitioner Corporation to pay Rs. 5,000/- to respondent, the delay in filing appeal is hereby condoned and matter is remitted back to District Forum for fresh consideration of issues giving due opportunity to parties.
