Respondent No.1, being the complainant, is the only contesting respondent. Notices were issued to all the respondents. Respondent No.6 in F.A. 48/2007 is represented. Other respondents are not either served or represented. Since the appellant is not seeking any relief against the unserved/unrepresented respondents, service on them is dispensed with at this stage. Even after hearing the counsel for the parties, we are unable to comprehend and understand the impugned orders. Learned counsel for the parties are unable to explain the basis on which the State Commission has passed the orders. At this stage, counsel for Respondent No.1 submits that the impugned orders be set aside and the cases remitted back to the State Commission to decide them afresh, as he is unable to defend the orders passed by the State Commission. Request made by the counsel for respondent No.1 is accepted. Impugned orders are set aside and the cases are remitted back to the State Commission to decide them afresh in accordance with law. Parties, through counsel, are directed to appear before the State Commission on 22.11.2012. Since these are old cases, we would request the State Commission to dispose of the complaints as expeditiously as possible and preferably within a period of 6 months from the date of first appearance of the parties. All contentions are left open. Nothing stated herein be taken as an expression of opinion. |
