Agarwala, the learned counsel appearing for the petitioner. 2. This is an application under Article 227 of the Constitution of India in respect of MAC Case No.2749/2019 pending in the court of learned M.A.C.T. No.2, Kamrup(M), Guwahati. 3. The petitioner is the claimant before the Tribunal. On some dates, he could not appear before the Tribunal and therefore, his evidence was expunged and his cross- examination was also closed. 4. I have gone through the impugned order. I have also considered the submissions made by Mr. Agarwala. 5. The claimant filed the claim petition seeking compensation for the injuries sustained by his son in motor accident. His minor son lost some fingers of his right hand in that accident. 6. The provisions relating to payment of compensation under the Motor Vehicles Act are beneficial legislation. Therefore, this Court is of the opinion that the Tribunal had taken very strict approach, which the Tribunal should not have taken. 7. Accordingly, the impugned order dated 30.06.2026 passed by the learned M.A.C.T. No.2, Kamrup(M), Guwahati in MAC Case No.2749/2019 is set aside. 8. The Tribunal is directed to provide one opportunity to the claimant/petitioner to Page No.# 3/3 face cross-examination by the other side. With the aforesaid direction, the present civil revision petition is disposed of. JUDGE Comparing Assistant
