KODE, JJ. DATED : 4 th August, 2011 . Heard Advocate Asghar Hussain for appellant and Advocate Paunikar for respondent. The Letters Patent Appeal stems from First Appeal No. 244/2001 decided on 1st August, 2006. That First Appeal, in turn, challenged the award delivered by Motor Accident Claims Tribunal on 28.2.2001 in Special Claim Petition No.52/1995 under section 163-A of the Motor Vehicles Act. Mr. Paunikar has relied upon the judgment of Full Bench of this Court reported in 2004 Vol.3 Mh.L.J. 706 in the matter of Rahul Sharad Awasthi vs. Ratnakar Trimbak Pandit and others, to urge that in view of Section 100-A of the Code of 2 Civil Procedure as amended on 1.7.2002, the Letters Patent Appeal is not maintainable. We have perused the Full Bench judgment, wherein it has been held that the Letters Patent Appeal is held to be not tenable against a decree or order if passed by single Judge on or after 1.7.2002. Here, the First Appeal is decided after that date and, as such, the present LPA is not maintainable. Hence the Letters Patent Appeal is disposed of as not maintainable. No costs. JUDGE JUDGE sahare
