SHRI.M.V.VISWANATHAN,JUDICIAL MEMBER

          The above appeal is preferred from the order dated 31st March 2010 passed by CDRF, Ernakulam in CC 119/09.  The complaint therein was filed alleging deficiency in service on the part of the opposite party in imparting training for plying a motor vehicle.  Before the Forum below, the opposite party entered appearance and filed

written version denying the alleged deficiency in service.  From the side of the complainant he himself was examined as PW1 and A1 to A6 documents were marked.   On the side of the opposite party  DWs 1 and 2 were examined and B1 to B11 documents were marked.  On an appreciation of the evidence on record, the Forum below passed the impugned order dismissing the complaint.  Aggrieved by the impugned order, the present appeal is filed with a petition for condonation of delay of 37 days.

          2. When this appeal was taken up for admission hearing, there was no representation for the appellant/complainant.  A perusal of the impugned order would make it clear that the Forum below has considered all the relevant aspects of the case and passed an order on merits.  We do not find any sustainable reason or ground to interfere with the impugned order  passed by the forum below.  More  over, the  present appeal is also barred by limitation.  The petition filed for condonation of delay of 37 days is also lacking merits.  No justifiable reason is stated for condonation of the said delay of 37

days.  Thus, in all respects, the present appeal deserves dismissal at the admission stage itself.  Hence, this appeal is dismissed.
