Mr. Sandeep Mathur counsel for the claimants Mr. Virendra Agarwal, counsel for the Insurance Co.

¶10

BY THE COURT :

¶11

Since all the aforesaid three appeals arise out of the judgment and award dated 18.2.2008 passed by the learned Tribunal, hence they are being decided by this common judgment.

¶12

At the very outset, learned counsel for the respective parties submits that the learned Tribunal while passing the impugned award has not taken into consideration the grounds which they have raised by way of the aforesaid appeals. The finding of the learned Tribunal on issue no. 4 is contrary to the

¶13

¶14

material available on record. Thus, the impugned award passed by the learned Tribunal qua issue no. 4 be quashed and set aside and the matter be remanded to the learned Tribunal with the direction to decide the matter afresh in the light of objections which they have raised by way of the aforesaid appeals.

¶15

I have heard learned counsel for the parties and carefully perused the relevant material on record including the impugned award.

¶16

In my considered view, the learned Tribunal while passing the impugned award has not gone through the facts of the case and passed the impugned award surreptitiously. Thus, the impugned award passed by the learned Tribunal needs interference by this Court.

¶17

In the result, all the aforesaid three appeals are partly allowed and the impugned judgment and award dated 18.2.2008 passed by Motor Accident Claims Tribunal, qua issue no. 4 is quashed and set aside with the direction to the learned Tribunal to decide the matter afresh in the light of the grounds taken by learned counsel for the respective parties in the aforesaid appeals, after issuing notice to all the concerned parties and giving

¶18

¶19

opportunity of hearing to them.

¶20

Both the parties are directed to

¶21

appear before the learned Tribunal on

¶22

18.2.2013.

¶23

However, it is made clear that if any amount has been received by the claimants under the impugned award, the said amount shall not be recovered from them.

¶24

Consequent upon the disposal of appeals, the stay applications also stand disposed of.
