THIS MOTOR ACCIDENT CLAIMS APPEAL HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 04/08/2009, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY PASSED THE FOLLOWING: V. RAMKUMAR , J. ------------------------------------------------------------- M.A.C.A. No. 1652 of 2009 ------------------------------------------------------------ Dated this the 4th day of August, 2009. JUDGMENT The appellant who was the petitioner in O.P.(M.V) No. 343 of 2006 on the file of the Motor Accident Claims Tribunal, Kozhikode, challenges the common award dated 20.12.2008 passed by that Tribunal closing the said O.P along with O.P. (M.V.) No.2771 of 2005 purportedly to enable the petitioners in the two O.Ps to get a transfer of the case to the appropriate forum. The learned counsel for the appellant submits that there was no such request for transfer. Whatever that may be, the common order closing the O.Ps so as to enable the petitioners to seek a transfer of the O.Ps to another Tribunal cannot amount to an award which alone is appealable. Hence this appeal is dismissed without prejudice to the right, if any, of the appellant to challenge the impugned order in appropriate proceedings. Dated this the 4th day of August, 2009. V. RAMKUMAR, JUDGE. rv
