Siri Jagan, J. =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=--=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= W.P(C) No. 29473 of 2011 =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=--=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Dated this, the 3rd day of December, 2011. J U D G M E N T The Motor Accident Claims Tribunal, Kozhikode passed Ext.P1 award in O.P(MV) No. 2050 of 2004 directing payment of compensation to the 3rd respondent. The 2nd respondent Insurance-Company was absolved. But, they were directed to pay the compensation and recover it from the petitioner, who is the owner of the offending vehicle. The award was ex parte. The petitioner filed an application to set aside the ex parte award with a petition to condone the delay in filing the same. Pending disposal of those petitions, revenue recovery proceedings were initiated. That is under challenge in this writ petition. 2. The petitioner's contention is that till the Tribunal considers the application for setting aside the ex parte award, proceedings for recovery may be stayed. Today, it is submitted that the Tribunal has dismissed the petition to set aside the ex parte award. In the above circumstances, the petitioner has to seek appropriate remedies available to him under law. Without prejudice to that right, this writ petition is dismissed. Sd/- S. Siri Jagan, Judge.
