JUDGMENT
The above Original Petition is filed with thefollowing prayers:
“(i) To direct the Hon'ble Motor Accidents ClaimsTribunal, Irinjalakkuda, that all proceedings pursuantto Exhibit P3 I.A.No.3/2021 in O.P.(MV)No.1000/2017may be kept in abeyance till the disposal of Exhibit P4& P5 which is pending before the Hon'ble MACT,Irinjalakuda.
(ii) Issue such other reliefs as this Hon'bleCourt may deem fit and proper in the circumstances ofthe case.
(iii) Shall dispense with the translation of thevernacular documents.”[SIC]
2. The petitioner suffered Ext.P1 award from the Motor Accident Claims Tribunal, Irinjalakuda. The petitioner submitted Exts.P4 and P5 applications beforethe Tribunal to set aside the ex parte order and tocondone the delay in filing the same. In the meanwhile, OP (MAC) NO. 140 OF 2022
recovery proceedings were initiated against thepetitioner. Hence this Original petition is filed.
3. Heard counsel appearing for the petitioner and the counsel appearing for the 3[rd] respondent. No noticeis necessary to respondents 1 and 2 at this stage and ifthey are aggrieved by the order passed by this Court,they are free to file a review petition before this Court.
4. The limited prayer of the petitioner is toconsider Exts.P4 and P5 by the Tribunal. Admittedly, theInsurance Company already paid the amount and therecovery is based on the requisition from the 3[rd]respondent. In the light of the pendency of Exts.P4 andP5, I think the Tribunal can be directed to consider thoseapplications within a time frame and till then therecovery proceedings can be deferred.
Therefore, this O.P.(MAC) is disposed of in thefollowing manner:
i.There will be a direction to the MotorAccidents Claims Tribunal, Irinjalakuda to consider DM
and pass appropriate orders on Exts.P4 and P5, asexpeditiously as possible, at any rate, within a periodof two months from the date of receipt of a copy ofthis judgment.
ii.Till final orders are passed as directedabove, all further proceedings against the petitionerbased on Ext.P1 award is deferred.
