JUDGMENT
JUSTICE SHRI. P.Q. BARKATHALI: PRESIDENT
This is an appeal filed by the complainant in CC.190/07 on the file of CDRF, Thrissur challenging the order of the Forum dated, November 03, 2012 dismissing the complaint.
2. The complainant filed the complaint before the Forum challenging the demand notice issued by the opposite parties regarding the electricity consumed by the complainant. During the pendency of the complaint complainant died, and the son of the complainant is impleaded as legal heir before the Forum. The Forum dismissed the complaint on the ground that complainant did not produce the bill in dispute before the Forum. But the appellant/complainant produced the relevant bill in this appeal. Therefore we are of the view that the matter should be remanded to the Forum for fresh consideration.
In the result appeal is allowed. The impugned order of the Forum dismissing the complaint is set aside. The matter is remanded to the Forum for fresh disposal in accordance with law. Send back the LCR to the Forum along with the bill produced. Both parties shall appear before the Forum on 24.2.2014.
