certain information from the Respondent No. 3- The New Progressive CGHS Ltd. (hereinafter, ‘Society’ ). The Society is stated to have responded to the same but the Petitioner was not satisfied. Thereafter, the Petitioner approached the RCS and the Assistant Registrar passed a detailed order on 4^th April, 2025. This order dated 4^th April, 2025 was challenged before the Financial Commissioner. The Revision was dismissed on the ground that the Petitioner was not duly represented before the FC.

¶20

Heard. A perusal of the order shows that the Petitioner was represented through the counsel’s court clerk – which was clearly not permissible. The Financial Commissioner rightly dismissed the revision petition. Ld. Counsel for the Petitioner submits that earlier a different date was given in the matter and the same was changed by the FC unilaterally, which then led to the ld. Counsel’s absence. The same was not deliberate.

¶21

This Court is of the opinion that since the dispute between the Petitioner and the Society still remains unresolved, it is deemed appropriate to remand the matter back to the Financial Commissioner, subject to a cost of Rs. 5000/to be deposited by the Petitioner, with the Delhi High Court Legal Services Committee. The bank details of the Delhi High Court Legal Service Committee are as under:
