By way of filing this appeal under Section 173 of the Motor Vehicles Act, 1988 the appellant - original opponent No.3 has challenged the judgment and order dated 5.12.2003 passed by the learned Motor Accident Claims Tribunal (Aux.) at Sabarkantha at Himmatnagar in MAC Petition No.1075 of 1994 whereby the Tribunal has awarded Rs.75,000/- .
It has been the consistent practice of this High Court not to enter into the merits of the appeals wherein claim in appeal is small and claims below Rs.1 lac have been quantified by this Court as petty claims. Since the amount involved in this appeal is less than Rs.1 lac, this appeal is dismissed without entering into the merits of the matter. However, it is made clear this shall not be treated as precedent.
