ORAL ORDER

Per – Hon’ble Mr. V. P. Utpat, President

          None present for the Complainant even on second call.  Today Complainant failed to appear before this Forum without any sufficient reason.  On the previous date viz. 28/02/2017, Complainant was permitted to take appropriate steps for service of notice to the Opposite Party No.1 by substituted service by public citation through paper publication.  However, till today Complainant did not take steps for service of notice to the Opposite Party No.1 in compliance with earlier order dated 28/02/2017 passed by this Forum.  Thus, it does appear to this Forum that Complainant has lost his interest in further prosecution of present consumer complaint.  In such peculiar circumstances, it is not desirable to prolong the consumer complaint.  Hence, consumer complaint stands dismissed for want of prosecution in accordance with the provisions of Section-13(2)(c) of the Consumer Protection Act, 1986 read with Rule-4(7) of the Maharashtra Consumer Protection Rules, 2000.  Parties shall bear their own costs.

Pronounced and dictated on Tuesday, May 02, 2017
