          State Commission, while allowing the appeal and dismissing the complaint, has awarded Rs.25,000/- by way of ex gracia. This judgement is contrary to a subsequent judgement passed by this Commission in Life Insurance Corpn. of India vs.Prahlad Singh & Ors. and other connected Revision Petitions in which we have held that the State Commission, suo moto, cannot order payment of ex gracia amount. The point in issue is concluded in favour of the petitioner and against the respondent. 
Respondent is not present despite service. Ordered to be proceeded ex parte. 
In view of the law laid down by this Commission in Prahlad Singh case (supra), we allow this Revision Petition, set aside the order passed by the State Commission and dismiss the complaint.
Revision Petition stands disposed of in above terms.
