This appeal is filed under Section 173 of the Motor Vehicles Act, 1988 challenging the judgment and award dated 21st September 2011 passed by the Motor Accident Claims Tribunal (Main), Dahod rendered in MAC Petition No.2870 of 2004.
The amount involved in this appeal is Rs.56,000/-. It has been the consistent practice of this Court not to enter into the merits of those appeals wherein the claim in appeal is small, and claims up to Rs.1,00,000/- have been quantified by this Court as petty claims. Since the amount involved in this appeal is less than the same, the appeal is not required to be entertained and the same stands disposed of accordingly.
It is clarified that this Court has not entered into the merits of the matter or considered issues like negligence, etc. and that this order shall not be treated as a precedent.
