DEEPA THIS ORIGINAL PETITION HAVING BEEN FINALLY HEARD ON 20/02/2009, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: S. Siri Jagan, J. =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=--=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= O.P. No. 15284 of 2002 =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=--=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Dated this, the 20th February, 2009. J U D G M E N T This original petition came up in the defect list since notice to the 2nd respondent has not been returned. The defect had been noted as early as on 25-9-2003 and the petitioners have not been able to cure the defect yet. In the above circumstances, I asked the petitioners to advance arguments on merits. 2. I have heard the counsel for the petitioners. 3. The petitioners challenge Exts.P4 and P5. Ext. P4 is the order by which the Motor Accidents Claims Tribunal, Attingal had reviewed its award passed in O.P(MV) No. 1365/2995. Ext. P5 is the award subsequently passed dismissing the claim of the petitioners. Since the same are orders of the M.A.C.T, the remedy of the petitioners lies in challenging the same in an appeal as provided in the Motor Vehicles Act. Therefore, the original petition is not maintainable and accordingly the same is dismissed. Sd/- S. Siri Jagan, Judge. Tds/ [True copy] P.S to Judge.
