IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH C.W.P. No. 601 of 2009 (O&M) Date of decision: January 14, 2009 Jarnail Singh and others .. Petitioners v. The Presiding Officer, MACT-cum- Executing Court, District Barnala and others .. Respondents CORAM: HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE RAJESH BINDAL Present: Mr. Bhavyadeep Walia, Advocate for the petitioners. .. Rajesh Bindal J. The prayer in the present petition is for a direction to the Motor Accidents Claims Tribunal, Barnala (for short, `the Tribunal') for deciding the execution application filed by the petitioners at an early date. As the prayer made is innocuous, I do not deem it appropriate to issue notice to the respondents. Briefly, the facts are that on account of the death of his wife, late Kehar Singh filed a petition under the Motor Vehicles Act, 1988. The claim petition was decided on 12.4.2001. Thereafter, even Kehar Singh also expired and the execution petition was filed by his legal representatives, i.e., the petitioners, which is pending before the Tribunal since 2001. A sum of Rs. 1,39,000/- was determined as payable to the petitioners. Considering the fact that the execution application is pending since the year 2001, Motor Accidents Claims Tribunal, Barnala is directed to expedite the hearing thereof and dispose of the same finally within a period of 6 months from the date of receipt of copy of this order. The writ petition is disposed of in the manner indicated above. (Rajesh Bindal) Judge 14.1.2009 mk
