ATUL KUMAR TRIPATHI 2025.09.25 12:37 I attest to the accuracy and integrity of this document FAO-4895-2002 -2- Thus, It transpires that the claimant has filed two claim petitions, which were decided separately. It also transpires that when FAO-1541-2014 decided on 30.08.2019, the pendency of the present appeal i.e. FAO-4895-2002 was not brought into the notice of this Hon'ble High Court. Since the claimant has already been awarded adequate compensation in relation to the accident and his said appeal had already been disposed of by the Hon'ble High Court on 30.08.2019, learned counsel for the appellant, in all fairness, has given a statement that in view of the judgment rendered by Hon'ble High Court passed in FAO-1541-2014 decided on 30.08.2019, relating to present appellant, the present appal be dismissed as infructuous. Ordered accordingly. (J.C. VERMA) PRESIDENT 17.09.2025 (ARVIND KUMAR) Atul MEMBER ATUL KUMAR TRIPATHI 2025.09.25 12:37 I attest to the accuracy and integrity of this document
