ORAL JUDGMENT
1. Heard learned advocate Mr. Sunil Parikh appearing for the appellant - Insurance Company.
2. What could be noticed that the Insurance Company claimed the amount to the tune of Rs. 1,27,000/-. This is a small and meager amount and considering the aspect of having no dispute in regards to the road accident, I am of the opinion that this appeal may not deserve consideration, more particularly, on the ground of smallness of amount. Accordingly, present first appeal stands dismissed.
3. It is made clear that present first appeal is dismissed on Page 1 of 2 Uploaded by MR.JIGAR JIVANBHAI RABARI(HCD0067) on Tue Sep 23 2025 Downloaded on : Tue Sep 23 23:44:43 IST 2025 NEUTRAL CITATION C/FA/75/2015 JUDGMENT DATED: 22/09/2025 undefined account of smallness of the amount and the order passed by this Court shall not be treated as precedent so as to say that this Court has decided any issue on merit.
