THIS OP (MAC) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 23.02.2021,
THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING:
OP (MAC).No.23 OF 2021

JUDGMENT
Dated this the 23rd day of February 2021
The petitioner herein is the applicant in Claim
Petition in O.P.(M.V)No.2085/2018 pending before the
M.A.C.T, Thrissur. The petitioner's son met with an
accident on 16.05.2018 and succumbed to the serious
injuries sustained by him. The O.P (M.V)was filed by
the parents and two sisters seeking compensation for
the injuries and the death.
2. The grievance of the petitioner is that,
they are in utter financial difficulties and in the
absence of any other substantial income, the petitioner
and other claimants need an early disposal of the
application.
3. The notice was served on the Standing
Counsel for the insurance company. Having heard the
learned counsel representing the Insurance Company as
well as the learned counsel for the petitioner, I feel
that, considering the limited prayer sought by the
petitioner, notice need not be issued to the contesting OP (MAC).No.23 OF 2021
parties, even though, the data regarding the pendency
of cases before the M.A.C.T, Thrissur is not available.
However, considering the fact that, the
petition was filed in 2018, I am inclined to dispose of
the O.P(M.A.C)with a direction that, the M.A.C.T,
Thrissur shall take up O.P(M.V) 2085/2018, as
expeditiously as possible and dispose it of on merits,
within a period of six months from the date of
production of a copy of this judgment or from the date
of completion of service, if the service is already not
completed. It is made clear that, if the service is not
completed, the Tribunal shall take every endeavor to
ensure that, the service is completed at the earliest.
