No.7076 of 2009 --------------------------------- Dated, this the 5th day of March, 2009 J U D G M E N T The petitioner is one of the claimants in OP(MV) No.253/2008 pending before the Additional Motor Accident Claims Tribunal, Mavelikkara. Ext.P1 is the claim petition, and Ext.P2 is I.A.No.481/2008 filed by the petitioner for the benefit, under Section 140 of the Motor Vehicles Act. Orders have not been passed on Ext.P2, and therefore, the writ petition is filed. 2. The learned counsel also makes reference to Ext.P3, a judgment rendered by this Court in WP(C) No.16540/2008, where the Tribunal was directed to pass orders on an application filed under Section 140 as similar to Ext.P2. 3. Taking into account the grievance of the petitioner that orders have not been passed on Ext.P2, I dispose of the writ petition directing the Additional Motor Accident Claims Tribunal, Mavelikkara to pass orders on I.A.No.481/2008 in OP(MV) No.253/2008. This shall be done as expeditiously as possible, at any rate, within six weeks of production of a copy of this judgment, and with notice to WP(C) No.7076/2009 -2- all concerned. The writ petition is disposed of as above. (ANTONY DOMINIC, JUDGE) jg
