Counsel for petitioner present.  Respondent is absent despite service.  The case was dismissed in default.  The impugned order runs as follows:

                             “None present for the appellant.  Respondent Ravindra Wagh present in person.  On last date none had appeared for the appellant and last chance was granted to the appellant.  The appeal be kept back for hearing and be recalled at 3.00 p.m.

                            Matter is recalled at 3.15 p.m.  None appeared for the appellant.  Respondent Ravindra Wagh is present.  His Adv. Mr. Satish Shrivas is also present.  Appellant’s Adv. K.A. Patil had appeared before this Commission on 06-09-2012 in response to the notice issued to the respondent.  However, thereafter when the appeal was adjourned to 12-12-2012, neither the appellant nor his Advocate remained present. Therefore, on that date last chance was granted to the appellant and appeal was adjourned till this date.  Today also none appeared for the appellant though the appeal was kept back till 3.00 p.m. today.

                            Therefore, we are satisfied that the appellant is not interested in pursuing this appeal.

                            Hence, appeal is dismissed in default.

                            No order as to cost.

                            Copy of this order be supplied to the parties.”

The counsel for the appellant did not appear till 3-15 P.M.  It is stated that he was busy in the High Court.  Counsel for the appellant also did not appear on 12.12.2012. Counsel did not appear despite the last chance. 

Arguments heard.  In the interest of justice, we restore the appeal subject to payment of Rs. 10,000/- as costs, which be paid to the respondent through demand draft before the State Commission. 

Both the parties are directed to appear before the State Commission on 27.01.2014.

The Revision Petition stands disposed of.  Copy of the order be sent to other party as well.
