                                                            JUDGMENT

                        The facts of the complaint  in brief is that  the  complainant has purched a Tata Pickup vehicle through finance  from the O.p 2  and paid Rs.70,000/-  towards the initial payment. The O.p 2   took the signature of the  complainant on the papers dotted line and assured that he is getting the finance without any interest and the balance amount of Rs.4,00,000/-  has to pay in 60 installments i.e. within five years.   The O.p 2 has not supplied the copy of agreement or the account statement and kept him in cark and  when the O.ps have not used the blank cheques for collection of the EMI and regularly coming and collecting the amount without returning the cheese kept with them  with the signature of the complainant. The complainant has so far paid  more than Rs.2,50,000/- towards the dues and due to the carelessness of the O.P 2  to intimate the balance amount there was  delay in payment of the balance money. Hence, prayed to direct the O.ps  to submit their account statement and award cost of litigation and such other relief   as the forum deems fit and proper.

                        Being  noticed by this forum the opposite parties neither appeared ;nor filed   any written version as such the O.ps were set exparte and  in absence of any written version from the opposite party we proceeded  the matter exparte and  believed  the allegations of the complainant  and  hence, we passed the order and  dispose of the matter with the following directions.

                                                              ORDER
