SURENDRA MOHAN, J. ------------------------------------------------------------ W.P(C) NO:23776 OF 2010 V ----------------------------------------------------------- Dated this the 29th July, 2010. JUDGMENT The petitioner is the claimant in O.P(MV)1385/2008 pending before the Motor Accidents Claims Tribunal, Pathanamthitta. According to the petitioner, she was badly injured in a motor accident as a result of which, she suffers from a disability that has been assessed at 28%. She has been under continuous treatment in various hospitals including the medical college hospitals at Alappuzha and Kottayam as well as the Lakeshore Hospital, Kochi. The petitioner is not in a position to meet the huge expenses of her treatment. She has submitted Ext.P3 Interlocutory Application for the consideration and disposal of her case on an early date. She complains that no orders have been passed thereon till date. 2. In view of the fact that the petitioner has suffered serious injuries in an accident and is undergoing continuous treatment at various hospitals involving substantial expenditure, it is absolutely necessary that the compensation due to her is granted and disbursed expeditiously. For the purpose, it is also necessary that her case is given some priority and tried and disposed of as early as possible so that some help to ameliorate her condition could be WPC 23776/2010 2 extended. I have no doubt that the Motor Accidents Claims Tribunal, Pathanamthitta would bestow its attention to the above facts and pass appropriate orders that are necessary. 3. In the above circumstances this writ petition is disposed of directing the Motor Accidents Claims Tribunal, Pathanamthitta to consider I.A.1691/2010 in OP(MV) 1385/2008 and to pass appropriate orders thereon in accordance with law, to have the trial of the petitioner's case completed, as expeditiously as possible.
