COMPLAINT CASE NO.125/2013
Relevant Facts Emerging during
Hearing
:
The Complainant is absent without any intimation to the Court. On the last date
of hearing on 27.2.2013 the Complainant had been directed to submit the proof of his
being BPL Card Holder. The Respondent had informed the Complainant to deposit
Rs.4954/- for the photo copies of the information to be prepared by the Respondent. But
the Complainant was insisting that being BPL Card Holder, fee should be waived off,
but he was not carrying any proof of being BPL Card Holder. This proof was to be
submitted today. His being absent today makes me to presume that he has no proof
being BPL Card Holder and that is the reason he is absent. Since the requisite fee has
also not been deposited by him nor any proof given of his being BPL Card Holder, the
case is closed.
DECISION :
The case is, therefore, closed and disposed off.
Announced in open Court,
The copies of order be sent to the parties.
