The Consumer Disputes Redressal Forum passed an ex parte order Ext. P3 in O.P. No. 800/05 filed by the respondent. The Company filed Ext. P4 petition to set aside the ex parte order. The petitioner filed this writ petition complaining that without considering Ext. P4 petition, the Consumer Disputes Redressal Forum initiated coercive steps against the petitioner and other directors of the Company under Section 27 of the Consumer Disputes Act for execution of Ext. P3. 2. I have considered the rival contentions in detail. 3. As early as on 14-8-2008, this Court passed the following interim order: “There will be an interim order of stay of all distress actions against the petitioner, including the non-bailable warrant, if any, issued against him. The CDRF will take up the applications filed by the petitioner to condone delay and to set aside the ex parte order and pass final orders thereon within a period of three months and send a report regarding the action taken on the basis of this order to the Registrar General within 15 days therefrom. The petitioner shall produce a copy of this order before the CDRF.” In view of the said order, no further orders are necessary in this W.P(C) No. 24613 of 2007 -: 2 :- writ petition. Accordingly, the writ petition is disposed of in terms of the said interim order. Sd/- S. Siri Jagan, Judge. Tds/
