J. M. Malik, Presiding Member—We have heard the counsel for the petitioner. None has appeared on behalf of the respondents. Dasti notices were served on respondents vide order dated 05.01.2010 but none appeared. In the meantime, summons were sent to the respondents but the same were received back undelivered with the remarks, “not claimed”, “always door locked”. Vide order dated 19.04.2010, Respondents were proceeded against ex-parte. It was stated that similar matter is yet pending for adjudication in this Commission before another Bench. Case was fixed for 05.05.2010. On 20.05.2014, the Bench headed by Hon’ble Justice D.K. Jain, President, ordered that the case be placed before the Circuit Bench after notices to both the parties. Notices were sent to both the parties. None appeared at the Circuit Bench. Case was adjourned for arguments at Delhi on 11.12.2014. On 11.12.2014, the petitioner asked for a date and the case was fixed for 17.12.2014. It is, thus clear that the respondents are not appearing despite service, even after 15 years. Their purpose is to delay the case unnecessarily.
