Appeal No.497/98 is under challenge whereby the learned Single Judge dismissed the appeal on the ground that learned Tribunal has awarded Rs.6,624/- which is less then rupees ten thousand, therefore, in view of sub-section (2) of Section 173 of the Motor Vehicle Act, 1988, appeal is not maintainable. Upon perusal, it is obvious that as per sub-section (2) of Section 173 of the Motor Vehicle Act, 1988, no appeal shall lie against any award of a claims Tribunal if the amount in dispute in appeal is less than rupees ten thousand. In our opinion, learned Single Judge has not 2 committed any error while dismissing the appeal on the ground that it is not maintainable. In this view of the matter, there is no force in this appeal and the same is hereby dismissed. (GOPAL KRISHAN VYAS), J (A.M. KAPADIA), J arun
