JUSTICE SHRI.K.R.UDAYABHANU,PRESIDENT

          The appellant is the complainant in CC.259/08 in the file of CDRF, Alappuzha.  The complaint stands dismissed as the complainant was absent and also as no evidence was adduced so far. 

 It is submitted that the opposite party has filed version only on 24.4.10.

          Evidently, there is lapse on the part of the complainant.  The Forum cannot be found fault with, especially as the complaint is of the year 2008.  All the same, and in view of the matter that the case has not been disposed of on merits the revision petition is allowed.  The matter is remitted back to the Forum.  The Forum is directed to permit the complainant   to adduce evidence etc. and dispose of the matter on merits.

          The Forum will issue notice to the opposite parties.

          The matter stands posted before the Forum on 18.11.2010

          Office will forward the copy of this order to the Forum urgently.
