PRACHCHHAK Date : 14/08/2025 ORAL JUDGMENT Present appeal is filed by the appellants challenging the impugned judgment and award dated 31.05.2012 passed by the learned Workmen Compensation Commissioner, Godhra in Workmen Compensation Application No. 1 of 1999 whereby the Workmen Commissioner has allowed the claim petition filed by the respondent – claimant and award compensation of Rs.66,970/- along with the interest at the rate of 6%. Though various grounds have been raised in the memo of appeal, the fact remains that the total amount involved in the appeal is very small. Considering the smallness of amount, this p. 2 Court is of the opinion that the appeal is not required to be entertained. Accordingly, only on the ground of smallness of amount, with a further clarification that this may not be considered as precedent in other claim petitions arising out of the same incident, the appeal is dismissed. However, there shall be no order as to costs. Registry is directed to send the original record and proceedings back to the Tribunal forthwith. It is made clear that this Court has not gone into merits of the matter. Pending civil application/s, if any, shall stand disposed of accordingly. Interim relief, if any, granted earlier stands vacated forthwith. (HEMANT M. PRACHCHHAK,J) V.R. PANCHAL
