Per Shri S.R. Khanzode – Hon’ble Presiding Judicial Member:

     This consumer complaint is filed by Master Sunil B. Gupta, a minor through his (next friend and natural guardian) father Mr.Bhim H. Gupta.  Thus this is a complaint filed by a minor – Sunil Gupta and his father Bhim H. Gupta is not the Complainant by himself.   He only represents his minor son for the purpose of minority of the Complainant.

     The minor Complainant – Sunil Gupta reported to be dead long back.  From the record i.e. roznama dated 11.03.2008 mentions to his death.  No legal heirs of minor Complainant – Sunil B. Gupta are brought on record as per Order XXII of Code of Civil Procedure which is applicable to the consumer complaints.  Under the circumstances, since the legal heirs are not brought on record in time, the complaint automatically stood abated.  Therefore, now to say that complaint was prosecuted by father is of no use.  We only record and confirm this abatement which ensued automatically.  Hence, the order:

O  R  D  E  R

Complaint stands dismissed as abated.
