IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA CWJC No.10777 of 2008 UMESH SINGH & ORS Versus THE STATE OF BIHAR & ORS ----------- 04 07.08.2008 In my view, prima facie, an order passed under Section 140 of the Motor Vehicles Act merges with an award, which is later passed under Section 168 of the Motor Vehicles Act. The Act provides for an appeal under Section 173 to the High Court against the award of the Motor Vehicle Claims Tribunal. In that view of the matter, the writ petition is not maintainable and the proper remedy would be a miscellaneous appeal. The petitioner is permitted to convert this writ petition into a miscellaneous appeal. (Navaniti Prasad Singh,J.) Trivedi/
