By filing this revision petition, Axis Bank-opposite party No.3 has challenged the order dated January 11^th, 2017 passed by District Consumer Disputes Redressal Forum, Faridabad (for short ‘District Forum’) whereby the petitioner was proceeded ex parte. 

2.      Learned counsel for the petitioner has urged that due to suspension of the work of the Bar Association, counsel appearing on behalf of the petitioner could not appear before the District Forum on January 11^th, 2017 and was proceeded ex parte. The next date of hearing before the District Forum is April 12^th, 2017 for filing written version by opposite parties No.1 & 2. 

3.      Be that as it may and without delving deeper, this Commission is of the opinion that ends of justice would be met if the impugned order is set aside and opportunity is granted to the petitioner to file written version and contest the complaint. 

4.      Accordingly, this revision petition is accepted and the impugned order is set aside. Consequently, the petitioner is accorded opportunity to file written version and join the proceedings.

5.      This revision petition is disposed of without issuing notice to the respondents with a view to impart substantive justice to the parties and to save the huge expenses, which may be incurred by the respondents as also in order to avoid unnecessary delay in adjudication of the matter.  In this regard, reliance can be placed on a Division Bench Judgment of Hon’ble Punjab and Haryana High Court rendered in Batala Machine Tools Workshop Cooperative Vs. Presiding Officer, Labour Court, Gurdaspur (CWP No.9563 of 2002) decided on June 27^th, 2002.

6.      The petitioner is directed to appear before the District Forum, on April 12^th, 2017, the date already fixed.

7.      Copy of this order be sent to the District Forum.
