No evidence of complainant is present despite last opportunity. This case is continuing for evidence of the complainant from 13.04.2022 and today is last opportunity on payment of costs Rs.500/-. Even cost has not been paid by the complainant and no effort has been made by the complainant to produce the evidence. Moreso, the complainant has already availed more than seven effective opportunities including last opportunity. Hence, there are no sufficient grounds for adjourning this case for the purpose of the evidence of the complainant. Hence, the evidence of the complainant is hereby closed by order of this Commission.

 2.               This complaint has been filed against the respondents seeking compensation of Rs.3,00,000/- as  the complainant has suffered the loss of crop due to supply of spurious pesticide.  In written statement, respondents denied all the allegations of the complaint and prayed for dismissal of complaint.

3.                As the complainant has come before this Commission for seeking relief, the onus was on the complainant to prove his case by adducing cogent and convincing evidence. Since the complainant has not produced any evidence on record despite several effective opportunities as stated above and hence, there is no iota of evidence on record to substantiate the allegations of the complaint. Hence, the present complaint is hereby dismissed in lacking of evidence.

4.                This order be communicated to the parties free of costs and file be consigned to the records after due compliance.
