" As per the references cited above, the Hon'ble High Court has directed to report status of OP(MV) 1583/2017 which was pending before this Court.
It is submitted that OP(MV) 1583/2017 is filed by the wife and children of the deceased Lijesh for compensation. Another petition OP(MV) No.1440/2017 was also filed by the mother and legal heirs of the father of the deceased Lijesh. Accordingly both the OP(MV)s were ordered to be tried jointly as per the order dated 09.12.2019 in IA 3394/2018.
During the trial a Transfer Appeal No.(C) 11 & 12 of 2022 filed by the petitioner before the Hon'ble High court to transfer both OP(MV)s to MACT, Ottapalam as the petitioners are only 10 kms from their native place Mannarkkad to Ottapalam. Thereafter the appeal was dismissed by the Hon'ble High Court on 26.07.2022.
It is also submitted that evidence in both OP(MV)s are O.P.(MAC) No.59 of 2023
completed and posted on 25.04.2023 for further hearing as it is needed some more clarification regarding the validity of marriage is contended by the petitioners in OP(MV) 1440/2017. In this circumstances, the Hon'ble High Court may be allowed 7 days more time to dispose the OP(MV)s after hearing from 25.04.2023. The same may be forwarded to the Hon'ble High court of Kerala.
In that view of the matter, this Original Petition is disposed of
directing the Tribunal to act in terms of the report.
