2. The case of the complainant is that he deposited Rs.4,20,000/- in the Jyothis project of the opposite parties on 5.6.07 believing the assurance of the opposite parties that double the amount will be repaid on maturity on 28.4.09. After maturity the amount was not refunded. The complainant was claimed the above amount with interest at 12%.
3. The 1st opposite party/ Firm represented by the Managing Partner stood ex-parte. The Managing Partner who is the 2nd opposite party/appellant in person has contended that he is not the Managing Partner of the 1st opposite party/Firm and that there is no cause of action against him.
4. The evidence adduced consisted of the testimony of PW1 and Exts.A1 to A12.
5. Exts.A2 to A11 are the certificates of deposits. It is noted by the forum that PW1 was not cross examined. The 2nd opposite party did not adduce any evidence. It was in the above circumstance that the Forum directed to refund the amount deposited with interest at 12%. The contention of the appellant is that he is not the Managing Partner of the 1st opposite party establishment. But nothing prevented him from testifying in this regard in support of his contention . In the circumstances we find that the finding of the Forum cannot be found fault with. We find there is no patent illegality in the order of the Forum.
6. Hence we find that there is no scope for admitting the appeal.
7. In the result the appeal is dismissed in limine.
Office will forward the copy of this order to the Forum.
