JUSTICE SHRI.K.R.UDAYABHANU: PRESIDENT The appellants are the opposite parties in I.A.464/2010 in CC.387/09 in the file of CDRF, Kottayam. 2. Revision petition is filed over the order in the I.A allowing the prayer of the complainant for appointing a surveyor to assess the loss and damage caused to the vehicle.
