Civil Revision No. 4598 of 2011 1 IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH Civil Revision No. 4598 of 2011 Date of Decision: 1.8.2011 *** Dharmender .. Petitioner Vs. Yogesh .. Respondent CORAM: HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE ARVIND KUMAR Present:- Mr. J.K. Verma, Advocate for the petitioner. *** ARVIND KUMAR, J. The petitioner was arrayed as respondent, being the driver of offending vehicle, in a claim petition filed by respondent herein, a minor, on account of injuries sustained by him. The said claim petition was dismissed for want of prosecution on 21.9.2007. On 26.9.2010 an application for restoration of the same was filed. The learned Tribunal vide order dated 26.5.2011 allowed the application and restored the claim petition to its original number. Dis-satisfied with the same, instant revision petition has been filed. Heard. The claimant admittedly is a minor. It cannot be lost sight of the fact that the provisions for grant of compensation under the Motor Accidents are beneficial legislation and the provisions of Civil Procedure Code are not strictly applicable thereto. No fault could be found with the approach adopted by the learned Tribunal while ordering for restoration of the petition, especially when it has been observed in the impugned order that the claimant will not be entitled to any interest, if he succeeds in the case, of the period the petition remained in abeyance. Dismissed. (ARVIND KUMAR) JUDGE August 01, 2011 Jiten
