This appeal has been filed with a delay of 1192 days along with an application for condonation of delay.  The explanation given for condonation of delay is that against the impugned order dated 30.04.2003 appellant had filed a review application which was dismissed by the State Commission on 25.08.2006 for want of jurisdiction.  Immediately thereafter the present appeal was filed. 

Since the appellant was pursuing his remedy of review the delay in filing the appeal is condoned.

          State Commission allowed the complaint filed by the respondent relying upon its earlier order in CD Cases No.319/1993, 320/1993, 321/1993 and 323/1993.  Against the said order appellant had filed First Appeals No.99 of 2001, 103 to 105 of 2001.  This Commission vide its order dated 06.12.2006 set aside the order passed in CD Cases No.319/1993, 320/1993, 321/1993 and 323/1993 and remitted the cases back to the State Commission to decide them afresh.  As the order, relying upon which the State Commission allowed the complaint, has been set aside by this Commission the impugned order in this case is also set aside in the same terms and the case is remitted back to the State Commission to decide it afresh in accordance with law.

          Petitioner through its counsel and the respondent who is appearing in person are directed to appear before the State Commission on 13.09.2012.

Since it is an old case we would request the State Commission to dispose of the complaint at the earliest and preferably within a period of four months from the date of appearance.
