preferred the instant writ petition and submitted that as the petitioners were struggling to overcome their trauma after the death of Jawahir @ Jawahar, grief, agony and poverty, they gave signatures on papers as directed by the counsel of Sonipat and the Claim Case has been filed at Sonipat itself. The claimants are permanent residents of village Pangaon, Tehsil Pamgarh, District Janjgir Champa (CG). The head of the family i.e. Jawahir @ Jawahar was engaged in a labour job in Haryana. On account of poverty and other facts, the petitioners ultimately returned to their original destination and still struggling for their bread as they were not enough educated and not in a financial or other position to contest the case at Sonipat neither the counsel informed them regarding their evidence. They got advise from their counsel at Janjgir Champa, in whose jurisdiction, they are presently residing. They were not aware of the other facts and its necessity. On account of their ignorance, they have not brought these facts to the notice of their counsel in the matter pending before the MACT, Janjgir Champa and the aforementioned Claim Case was pending prior to filing of MACT Case No.35/2014 before the Claims Tribunal, Jangjir Champa. The Court below on hearing the preliminary objection made in this behalf, dismissed the suit as the claimants concealed this fact and also the subsequent suit not maintainable.
