Poonacha; appeal under Section 173(1) MV Act against award dated 03.08.2022 in MVC No.15/2019 (VIII Additional Small Causes Judge and MACT SCCH-5, Bengaluru) partly allowing compensation; enhancement sought against Bengaluru Metropolitan Transport Corporation (BMTC); appellants S. Kamal Basha and Parveen (advocate Shakeel Ahmed absent); respondent MD BMTC (advocate D Vijaya Kumar absent); appeal dismissed for non-representation and non-compliance with office objections pending about two years; no merits decided; no costs or quantum recorded.
What did the court decide?
Appeal dismissed: there was no representation for the appellants, and despite sufficient opportunity the office objections were not complied with for about two years, so no purpose would be served by granting further time.
