Despite this fact, on 13th November,2009 when the case was called up, as the Complainant was not present, the hon'ble court observed that Court notice had been duly served on the Complainant but he has not appeared thus the case cannot be proceeded firrther in the absence of active steps of the Complainant. In view of these findings, the learned Trial Court dismissed the complaint for want of prosecution and in default. A perusal of the order-sheets show that initially the Complainant was examined on 7fr Muy, 2OOi and summons were issued to the accused. On the next date, the learned Presiding Officer was on leave. However on 18ft November, 2008 none was present for the Complainant. On 22"d September, 2008 it was noted that the Complainant was not present. However on that date at 11:00 a.m. the file was taken up on the mentioning of the Complainant and the presence of the Complainant was thus recorded and fresh summons were issued to the accused. Thereafter, the case was transferred. On 19th Muy, 2OOg, the Complainant had not appeared and thus Court notice was issued for 27n' July, 2009. On this date, the Complainant was present and the learned Presiding Officer was on leave. Thus the finding of the learned Trial Court vide its order dated 30th CRL.LP.45l20l0 page 2 of3 I Novernber, 20II that Court notice had been duly served upon the Complainant, but none has appeared are not borne out from the record. The court notice was issued for 2lth July,20Og and not for 30th Novernber,2009. The Complainant had absented on two dates and on the other dates the adjournments were given for other reasons. In view the facts and circumstances of the present case, the impugned order dated 30tl' November, 2009 dismissing the cornplaint case No. 6t3/2009 is set aside. The complaint is restored to its original position. The parties will appear before the Trial Court on29th July, 20II. The appeal is accordingly allowed.
