Present:  None for complainant.

                Shri Karan Singh, counsel for OP.

 

                Today the case was fixed for evidence of complainant subject to payment of cost of Rs.1000/- as well as last opportunity.

                Learned counsel for OP submits that on 01.10.2019, this Commission has directed the OP not to recover the disputed amount i.e. Rs.1,10,503/- and not to disconnect the connection of the complainant till further order. He further submits that complainant take the advantage of order of this Commission since long.

                Neither none has appeared on behalf of complainant nor any evidence on behalf of complainant has been produced. A careful perusal of the file reveals that the written version on behalf of OP has been filed on 08.11.2019. Since, 10.04.2020 the case was adjourned for evidence of complainant till today but complainant has failed to conclude his evidence after availing several opportunities including six last opportunities as well as payment of costs of Rs.1000/- in the last two opportunities. Case called several times since morning. It is already 4.00 p.m but none has appeared on behalf of complainant. It appears that complainant is no more interesting in pursuing his case. There is no justification to adjourn the case further as present complaint pertains to the year 2019

        Hence, in view of the above discussion, the present complaint is hereby dismissed for want of prosecution. However, complainant is at liberty to file fresh complaint on the same cause of action in the court of competent jurisdiction, if so desired. Parties concerned be communicated of the order accordingly and file be consigned to the record room.
