MACApp. 20/2011 BEFORE THE HON’BLE MR JUSTICE B.D. AGARWAL Heard Mr. T. Islam, learned counsel for the appellant. As per the order-dated 23.02.2011, the appellant, Shri Tabibur Rahman ap peared in the court personally and he was also heard. The appellant was explaine d the delay in registration of the appeal and at the same time the appellant als o stated that he has no interest to pursue the appeal. Be that as it may, the appellant filed a claim application in the court of the learned Member, MACT, Darrong, Mangoldoi being MAC Case No. 80 of 1997 s eeking compensation for sustaining injuries in a motor vehicle accident that all egedly took place in the year 1985. After thorough enquiry the claim application was rejected by the impugned judgment and order dated 05.10.2002. Admittedly, the claim application was filed in the year 1997 i.e. nearly after 1 3 years of the accident. The claim application was dismissed by the Tribunal bas ically on the ground that there was no explanation on such long delay. This apar t, the claimant also did not submit any proof of injury nor filed expenditure vo uchers. The other lacuna in the claim application was non-impleadment of the dri ver of the offending vehicle. Hence, I do not find any merit in this application. Consequently, the ap peal is dismissed.
