Considering the facts and circumstances, it appears that the main claim petition is of year 2000 being MACP No.304 of 2000 and no useful purpose would be served in deciding the question on the point of liability of the insurance company at this stage. Therefore, it would be just and proper to direct the Tribunal to decide the main claim petition no.304 of 2000 within some reasonable time. Hence, the present appeal is disposed of with a direction that the Tribunal shall make attempt to decide the claim petition no.304 of 2000 as early as possible preferably within six months from the receipt of the order of this Court. First Appeals is disposed of accordingly. (JAYANT PATEL, J.) (ila)
