The unfortunate claimants are waiting for compensation since last seven years. 3.

Record of the Claims Tribunal was also called for and as such before the Claims Tribunal the claim case could not be proceeded further and since last more than six years the claim case is pending in idle condition, which is very unfortunate. It seems that due to inadvertent mistake the record was called, which was not pointed out by the concerned appellant. 3 5. Considering the aforesaid aspect of the matter, while continuing the stay order dated 30.10.2018, this appeal is being disposed of with a direction to the concerned Tribunal, i.e., 7th Additional Motor Accidents Claims Tribunal, Bilaspur in Claim Case No.30 of 2018 to initiate further proceedings in respect of aforesaid claim case expeditiously. 6. Record of the claim case is being returned to the concerned Tribunal with an expectation that the claim case would be decided as soon as possible because since 2018 the proceedings of the claim case is stayed. The order dated 30.10.2018 staying the operation of the impugned order dated 14.9.2018 shall continue till final decision of the claim case. 7. The concerned Tribunal is further directed to send notice to the claimants by ordinary and registered modes as perhaps they are not aware of the proceedings since last six years. 8. With the aforesaid observations and directions, the appeal is disposed of. 9. Record of the Claims Tribunal be sent back forthwith. Sd/- (Amitendra Kishore Prasad) JUDGE Gopal Singh
