Per Shri S.R. Khanzode, Hon’ble Presiding Judicial Member This appeal is filed against the order dated 29/09/2011 passed in consumer complaint No.146/2011 (Shabbir Ahmed Khatib V/s. Shri Bajirao V. Shinde, Shriram Sahakari Bank Ltd.) passed by District Forum, Nashik. There is delay of 121 days in filing appeal and hence, this application for condonation of delay is filed. Appeal is filed by the Liquidator appointed over Shriram Sahakari Bank Ltd., Nashik. Learned Counsel appearing for non-applicant/respondent opposed the application for condonation of delay inter alia taking ground that applicant/appellant has no locus standi to file this appeal since it was not party in the original complaint. 2. We heard Mr.P.R. Adkine, Advocate for the applicant/appellant and Mr.Ashutosh Marathe, Advocate for non-applicant/respondent. 3. Though the appeal is filed by the Liquidator appointed over Shriram Sahakari Bank Ltd., perusal of the certified copy of the impugned order shows that party before the Forum was Mr.Bajirao V. Shinde and the impugned order dated 29/09/2011 was also passed against him and therefore, in any case, the Liquidator appointed over Shriram Sahakari Bank Ltd. or Shriram Sahakari Bank Ltd. itself, both are not aggrieved party since they were not parties before the Forum in the original consumer complaint. Since the applicant/appellant has no locus standi to file appeal, there arise no question to consider its grounds or reasons to get condone the delay in filing appeal. We hold accordingly and pass the following order :- -: ORDER :- 1. Application for condonation of delay stands rejected. 2. In the result, appeal is not entertained and stands disposed off accordingly. 3. Copies of the order be furnished to the parties. Pronounced Dated 16th July 2012. |
