CW 1026/08 [1] IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE FOR RAJASTHAN AT JAIPUR BENCH S.B. Civil Writ Petition No.1026/08 Depot Manager, Raj. State Road Transport Corporation & Anr. Versus Shri Naurang Rai & Ors. DATE OF ORDER : 09/03/2009 HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE AJAY RASTOGI Mr. Virendra Agrawal, for petitioner *** Instant petition has been filed by the Corporation against the impugned award dt.14th November, 2007 [Ann.1] passed by Motor Accident Claims Tribunal, Sikar in Claim Application No.864/05. Amount of compensation awarded was of Rs.8200/- which is less than Rs.10,000/- and indeed u/s.173 of Motor Vehicles Act, if amount awarded is less than Rs.10,000/-, appeal is not maintainable. In opinion of this court, if statutory appeal is not maintainable against impugned award for lesser amount u/s.173 of Motor Vehicles Act, there is no justification why the writ petition should be entertained against such impugned award. Accordingly, writ petition stands dismissed. However, the petitioner would be at liberty to CW 1026/08 [2] assail the correctness of finding in other awards pending appeals and rejection of this writ petition would not be taken as approval of finding on that issue.
