Heard learned advocates for the respective parties. 2. Learned advocate for the respondents pointed out that both the captioned appeals may not deserve consideration on merits, owing to the smallness of the amount under challenge. It is noticed that the amount under challenge in First Appeal No. 782 of 2013 is Rs.2,50,000/- and in First Appeal No. 781 of 2013, the amount under challenge is Rs.1,80,000/-. These are small and meager amounts and considering the aspect of having no dispute in regard to the road accident, I am of the opinion that these appeals may not deserve consideration, more particularly, on the ground of smallness of amount. Accordingly, both the captioned first appeals stand dismissed. 3. It is made clear that both the captioned appeals are dismissed on account of smallness of the amount and the order p. 1 passed by this Court shall not be treated as precedent so as to say that this Court has decided any issue on merit. The whole purpose to dismiss these appeals on account of smallness of amount is with a view to avoid hardship, both physically and financially on the part of the original claimants to appear and defend the case. 4. Therefore, this order shall not be cited as precedent in any pending matters before any Court in the State of Gujarat. 5. If any amount of compensation, or any statutory amount, lying deposited with the Registry of this Court shall be transmitted to the learned Tribunal concerned. 6. Records & Proceedings if any, to be sent back to the concerned Court immediately. The entire award amount be disbursed and released in favour of claimants after due verification by transferring said amount to the accounts of claimants by RTGS or NEFT. 7. In view of the order passed in the captioned Appeals, connected Civil Applications, if any would not survive, and the same are also disposed of. 8. The appellant is at liberty to revive the appeal in case of difficulty. (MOOL CHAND TYAGI, J) ARUN p. 2 Original copy of this order has been signed by the Hon'ble Judge.
