SRI.V.P.K.PANICKER FOR R2 THIS MOTOR ACCIDENT CLAIMS APPEAL HAVING BEEN FINALLY HEARD ON 13/11/2008,THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: Rs/ M.N.KRISHNAN, J ===================== MACA No.1166 OF 2006 ===================== Dated this the 13th day of November 2008 JUDGMENT This appeal is preferred against the award of the Motor Accidents Claims Tribunal, Manjeri in O.P.(MV)No.668 of 2001. The Tribunal had globally fixed an amount of Rs.16,000/- as compensation and I do not find any description or even the nature of injuries sustained in the award. Therefore the inevitable consequence is to set aside such an award and refer the case back to the Tribunal for fresh consideration. I also direct the appellant to co-operate and participate in the proceedings as well. Therefore the award under challenge is set aside and the matter is remitted back to the Tribunal with a direction to it to permit both the parties to adduce evidence both oral and documentary in respect of their contentions and then dispose of the matter in accordance with law. Parties are directed to appear before the Tribunal on 27.12.2008. MACA is disposed of as above. M.N.KRISHNAN, JUDGE Cdp/- CRPs 1918 & 1919/2003 -:2:-
