Page No.# 3/3 4. This Court has already held that other than hit and run cases, the ex-gratia compensation would not be mandated to be so released, inasmuch as, the claimant can approach the jurisdictional Motor Accident Claims Tribunal (MACT), claiming compensation for the accident occasioning. 5. In the present case, this Court finds that the identity of the offending vehicle is on record, and the same finds mentioned in the FIR filed by the petitioner. The petitioner in the present proceedings has also not contended that proceedings before the jurisdictional MACT was not instituted. 6. In view of the above, the present writ petition would be mandated to be dismissed on merit. However there being none to press the writ petition on behalf of the petitioner, the present writ petition stands dismissed for non prosecution. JUDGE Comparing Assistant
