Order of Prashant Kumar, J., High Court of Judicature at Allahabad (Lucknow Bench), Court No. 20, dated March 18, 2026, in FAFO No. 205 of 2026: appeal of Smt. Soneshree @ Mohini and others under Section 173 of the Motor Vehicle Act, 1988 against the judgment and order dated 27.11.2025 of the Motor Accident Claims Tribunal, Sitapur in M.A.C.P. No.226 of 2019 rejecting their claim on the ground that the original owner was not made a party. Counsel for the appellants urged that the incident occurred on 08.03.2019, ownership transferred on 12.04.2019 without the claimant's knowledge, and that the Tribunal had taken a hypo-technical ground in dismissing the claim petition. Finding the matter to require consideration, the Court admitted the appeal, ordered notice to the respondents (Rakesh Kumar and others), summons of the Tribunal's record, steps for service of notice within one week, and listing on 15.07.2026.
