Dear,

Every proceeding before a Consumer Forum shall be conducted as expeditiously as possible and as per the requirements of the C.P. Act. The Consumer Forum shall record the reasons for any adjournment made by it and it cannot adjourn the proceedings without any reason. If you think that your case is being delayed due to the frequent adjournments by the forum, file a petition before the forum and ask it to dispose off the case expeditiously.

it is advisable to file a expedite petition in high court for early hearing and and not to adjourn the matter if the OP is absent and trying to waste the time of the district forum and complainanat as well.
