Rajamma v. State of Kerala
Case brief
What is this about?
This original petition filed by the petitioners against orders of the Motor Accidents Claims Tribunal, Attingal, was dismissed. The Court held that since the impugned orders were passed by the M.A.C.T., the petitioners should challenge them via an appeal under the Motor Vehicles Act. The petition being filed under the High Court was ruled not maintainable.
What did the court decide?
The original petition was dismissed as it was not maintainable given the existence of an appellate remedy under the Motor Vehicles Act against the Tribunal's orders.
