LOMBARD MOTOR INSURANCE COMPANY LTD, KANNAKERI ESTATE, 3RD FLOOR,SHANMUGHAM ROAD, COCHIN-30 THIS OP (MACT) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 17/01/2011, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: P.N.RAVINDRAN, J. ----------------------------------------- O.P(MAC)No.1097 of 2010 ----------------------------------------- Dated this the 17th day of January, 2011 JUDGMENT The petitioner is the claimant in O.P(MV)No.2247 of 2007 on the file of the Motor Accidents Claims Tribunal, Thrissur. In this writ petition he seeks a direction to the Motor Accidents Claims Tribunal, Thrissur to dispose of O.P(MV)No.2247 of 2007 expeditiously. O.P (MV)No.2247 of 2007 was presented before the Motor Accidents Claims Tribunal, Thrissur on 16.11.2007. The learned counsel for the petitioner submits that though on an earlier occasion the case was posted in the Adalat the Insurer was not willing to agree for a settlement. In such circumstances, as nearly three years have passed after the claim petition was presented I am of the opinion that the Motor Accidents Claims Tribunal, Thrissur should endeavour to dispose of the same expeditiously. I accordingly dispose of the writ petition with a direction to the Motor Accidents Claims Tribunal, Thrissur to dispose of O.P(MV)No.2247 of 2007 expeditiously and in any event within six months from the date of receipt of a certified copy of this judgment.
