It transpired during the course of the arguments that the case of the opposite party namely M.P. Motors before the State Commission, in the memorandum of appeal filed by it against the order of the District Forum was that they had replaced the engine of the vehicle pursuant to the order of the District Forum. Unfortunately, the aforesaid plea has not even been referred in the order passed by the State Commission. The learned counsel appearing for M.P. Motors further states that after replacement of the engine, the vehicle was repossess by Mahindra & Mahindra Finance Services Ltd., which had financed the purchase of the said vehicle. He, however, is unable to give the date on which the vehicle was allegedly repossessed nor M.P. Motors has filed any document evidencing the repossession of the vehicle.
2. It, therefore, becomes imperative to remit the matter back to the State Commission for deciding the appeal filed by M.P. Motors afresh after considering the evidence including documents in support of its having replaced the engine of the vehicle and the financer Mahindra & Mahindra Finances Service Ltd. having repossessed the vehicle. The complainant of course would also be entitled to file evidence -4- in order to rebut the evidence, if any, filed by M.P. Motors in support of alleged replacement of the engine of the vehicle and repossession of the vehicle by the financer.
3. The impugned order is therefore, set aside and t h e matter is remanded back to the State Commission for deciding the appeal afresh after given opportunity to the parties to lead evidence with respect to the alleged r e placement of engine and repossession of the vehicle by the financer. The State Commission shall appear before the State Commission on 16.08.2017.
