SIRI JAGAN, J. ---------------------------------- W.P.(C)NO.26038 OF 2007 ------------------------------------- DATED THIS THE 24th DAY OF AUGUST, 2007 JUDGMENT The petitioners challenge order of the Motor Accident Claims Tribunal, Thalassery refusing relief under Section 140 of the Motor Vehicles Act. I am not inclined to entertain this challenge, since the petitioners have got an effective alternate remedy by way of appeal against that order provided under Motor Vehicles Act itself. Therefore, without prejudice to the right of the petitioners to file an appeal against the impugned order, this writ petition is dismissed. S. SIRI JAGAN, JUDGE Acd
