1)         This is an appeal filed against the order dated 08.11.2013 passed by the Ld. District Forum, Tis Hazari, Delhi in complaint case no. 336/12 by which the District Forum has dismissed the complaint of the appellant/complainant for non prosecution.

2)           We have heard Sh. Rakesh, proxy counsel for Sh. R.K. Kohli, counsel for the appellant. Perused the impugned order.

3)              The version of the appellant for non appearance on the date fixed before the District Forum is that the counsel for the appellant inadvertently noted the next date as 11.11.2013 in place of 08.11.2013. To support of his contention, the appellant has filed his own affidavit. We have perused the impugned order which shows that on 08.11.2013 the respondent/OP also did not appear before the District Forum.

4)                  Hence, we have set aside the dismissal order dated 08.11.2013 and restored the complaint to its original no. with the directions of the District Forum, Delhi restored the complaint to its original no. issue notice to the opposite parte and proceed in the matter in accordance with law.
