I have heard learned Counsel for the appellant and perused memo of appeal as well as impugned order. The appeal is within time.

Admit and register appeal.

Vide impugned judgment and order the complaint has been dismissed in default of the parties. As such the appeal is disposed of

finally at the stage of admission itself.

:2:

parties. As the impugned order shows that respondents were not present before District Consumer Forum, therefore, I find no need to issue notice to the respondents.

Appellant has shown sufficient reason for his absence on date fixed.

In view of above, I am of the view that appeal should be allowed and exparte order dated 12-03-2018 should be set aside.

In view of above, the appeal is allowed. Impugned order dated 12-03-2018 passed by District Consumer Forum-II, Lucknow in Complaint Case No. 239 of 2008 Ram Naresh Singh V/s Standard Chartered Bank and another is set aside.
