  34. Power to adjudicate.
  1.       For the
  
  purpose of adjudging penalty under section 33, the State Commission shall
  
  authorise any of its member to be an adjudicating officer for holding an
  
  inquiry in the prescribed manner after giving any person concerned a reasonable
  
  opportunity of being heard for the purpose of imposing any penalty.
  2.       While
  
  holding an inquiry the adjudicating officer shall have power to summon and
  
  enforce the attendance of any person acquainted with the facts and
  
  circumstances of the case to give evidence or to produce any document which in
  
  the opinion of the adjudicating officer, may be useful for or relevant to the
  
  subject matter of the inquiry and if, on such inquiry, he is satisfied that the
  
  person has failed to provide the relief recommended by the District Grievance
  
  Redressal Officer, without reasonable cause, or wilfully ignored such
  
  recommendation, he may impose such penalty as he thinks fit in accordance with
  
  the provisions of section 33.
