He submits that if opportunity would be given they would submit all the materials before the learned District Commission.
5. Considered the submission and perused the impugned order which is passed exparte U/S 38(8) of C.P.Act and the revision petition.
6. It is submitted by petitioner that there is arrear of Rs.66,432.56p pending against the complainant. Moreover, the impugned order does not disclose on what basis the learned District Commission passed exparte order. Every quasy judicial order or judicial orders must be passed with rational reasons. Hence the impugned order is not a speaking order. It is liable to be set aside and it is set aside at the stage of admission. However, the matter is remanded to the learned District Commission for giving opportunity to the O.P for filing objection and hear both parties and pass speaking order in accordance with law.
