Balachandran, J. ---------------------------- W.P.(C)No. 6763 of 2007 E ---------------------------- JUDGMENT The report received from the Motor Accidents Claims Tribunal, Palakkad shows that appropriate orders could not be passed in the matter only because the petitioner, who filed I.A.No.500/07 and thereafter I.A.No.615/07 to take up I.A.No.500/07 urgently, was, consistently, not appearing before court, when those IAs were called. In the result, I dispose of this writ petition with a direction that in case the petitioner or his counsel moves a petition to advance the case, which is now posted to 7.4.2007 and represents the matter before the Tribunal, the Tribunal shall advance hearing of I.A.No.500/07 and pass appropriate orders thereon. The practice of the counsel not appearing in the court below and moving this Court for appropriate directions has to be deprecated and this is one such instance. WPC 6763/07 2 Issue a copy of this judgment to the counsel for the petitioner on application as per Rules as expeditiously as possible. 21st March, 2007 (K.P.Balachandran, Judge) tkv
