No. 1807 of 2008 =~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~= Dated this the 17th day of January, 2011 JUDGMENT Basheer, J. Appellant is the claimant. She claimed compensation under section 166 of the Motor Vehicles Act for the injuries sustained by her in a road traffic accident. Dissatisfied with the award, she has filed this appeal seeking enhancement of the compensation awarded by the Tribunal. 2. When this appeal is taken up for consideration, it is brought to our notice that a learned Single Judge of this court had occasion to consider M.A.C.A.No.470 of 2008 preferred by the insurer of the vehicle involved in the alleged accident. The learned Single Judge allowed the said appeal and dismissed the claim petition relying on a decision of this court reported in Shaju V. Babu (2007(4) KLT 1076). 2. In view of the said development, we close this MACA 1807/2008 2 appeal with liberty to the appellant to seek other appropriate remedies in accordance with law, if so advised.
