Mr Moorthy !
I feel it is the duty of the Dealer to attend your problem . You have issued a Notice and filed Consumer case submittign your grevenience , even in the Consumer Forum the Delaer / company failed to represet , it goes to show delear/comapny negligence .
These things show that your demand/claim is genuine , you are entitled for the Services required form the Delaer /company .These facts are sufficient to allow your case . No need of any citaitons and judgments

Dear Member,
When co., and dealer have failed to appear before the forum, then they will be placed as an ex-parte, so u need not rely any decisions u proceed with the case definately it will be in ur favour. After obtaining the order to execute the order u will have to file an execution petition in the same fourm and u will have to take necessary orders from the forum to exeucte the order against the co., U have remedy to obtain arrest warrant against both the co., and dealer.

Dear Mr. Murthy
Mr. Prabhakar is right. However, in your case first you have to pray before the Forum to fix the matter for ex-parte hearing and then you will have to argue your case. Though in your case citation is not essentially required however, go through the under given citations:
1. 1997 (2)CPJ81 (NC)
2. 1 2009 CPJ 256 (NC)

Dear Friend,
If the summons/notice has been served as per law on the respondents (the manufacturer and the dealer), and still they are not appearing before the forum, then ex-parte proceedings may be initiated against them, and the decision may be given against them.
As per the Consumer Protection Rules, if the respondent does not appear on any date, then he may be proceeded ex-parte, it is on the discretion of the forum, but if he does not appear for three consecutive dates, then he shall have to be proceeded ex-parte, and decision may be given against him.
After the decision in your favour, you may file an application U/s 25 and 27 of Consumer Protection Act before the forum alongwith a certified copy of such judgment for the execution.
