In view of the fact of this case, both the counsel for the parties have submitted that let the impugned order be set aside and the matter may be remanded back to the Tribunal to be decided afresh on merits Accordingly, this petition is allowed. The impugned order is set aside. Consequently, the application filed by the petitioner for setting aside the award passed by the Motor Accident Claims Tribunal on 20.01.2004 is set aside. The parties are directed to appear before the Tribunal on 11.1.2010. It is needless to say that the Tribunal shall dispose of the claim petition expeditiously. ( Sabina ) Judge December 03, 2009 arya
