consumer forum next step?

(Querist) 02 September 2010 This query is : Resolved 
on the date of submission of evidence/affidavit,the op's counsel was absent.

the case was posted for arguement.

1.what should be done now? i.e,unless,we get the evidence/affidavit,how will the complainant counter it?

2.Or will the forum proceed and judge the case based on the complainants evidence alone?

3. will the op get a chance to submit their evidence later?

a detailed technical guidance on the above would be highly appreciated.

You prefer to argue the case. If the OP decide to reopen the case, let them file applications and you will be heard again

If the OP does not appear the consumer forum can decide the matter on merit and on documents brought notice to the forum.After the judgment the OP have to file appeal because there is no provision in act to set-aside the order.

On next hearing date Op's counsel can file a petition to reopen the evidence.
