I.A.No.1 of 2021
The present application came to be filed seeking to permit the petitioner to receive the original decree and order of Motor Accidents Claims Tribunal (II Additional District Judge), Parvatipuram in M.V.O.P.No.335 of 2015, which is filing along with M.A.C.M.A.No.1063 of 2019, from the Registry of this Hon'ble Court, to get corrected/amended and submit the same to this Court in the said appeal.
A perusal of the material on record would show that in the application filed under Section 166 of the Motor Vehicles Act, it was specifically stated that the injured by name Dandi Lokenath is in coma and he is unable to sign and speak. Hence, his mother by name Dandi Kusuma Kumari, W/o. Shankara Rao, R/o. Peda Bohgili Village gave instructions to file the O.P. and she is said to have filed O.P. But, however, the name of Dandi Lokenath was shown as petitioner in the cause title. The trial went on in the same fashion and later on, the order and decree, which are the subject matter of challenge, came to be passed.
While admitting the appeal filed by the Insurance Company, the appellant was directed to deposit half of the awarded amount along with proportionate interest and complete costs and the claimant was permitted to withdraw the said amount subject to compliance of clause (2) of the decree. The claimant is said to have made an application before the trial Court for withdrawal of the same, which was objected to, having regard to the cause title which is in the name of Dandi Lokenath.
It is the case of the petitioner herein that the said Lokenath is still in coma and as such his mother filed an application, which was not accepted. Hence, seeks permission of this Court for return of the original order and decree enabling him to get it corrected before the trial Court. In support of his plea, he placed on record an order passed by learned Single Judge, in identical circumstances, wherein it was held as under:
" M.A.C.M.A.M.P.No.4106 of 2017
Heard.
As the award of the lower Court in memo of evidence of PW.1 clearly speaks from the deposition of her name as G.Varaha Lakshmi and in the decree, her name is mentioned as Bora Varalakshmi @ Anantha Lakshmi, W/o. Bora Ananda Reddy, who is stating as mentally unsound. Whereas, in the award/order of the Court, the name of the petitioner is mentioned as Mummana HeBora Ananda Reddy, that is not there of 'Mummana He' either in the main O.P. or anywhere.
Thereby, the remedy of the petitioner is to substitute copies of decree and order herein, and take back the original from the Registry by virtue of this order by filing application before the learned trial Judge and submit that same within one month from today."
In view of the judgment of this Court, which is not controverted or disputed by the learned counsel appearing for the appellant-insurance company, the petitioner shall substitute copies of the order and decree with certified copies and tack back original from the Registry and get the same corrected before the trial Court within a period of two (2) months from today and thereafter file the corrected original order and decree in the Registry. It is needless to mention that the trial Court shall look into the matter and after hearing all concerned correct the cause title in accordance with law.
