L. ODEDRA Date : 19/01/2026 ORAL JUDGMENT 1. Heard learned advocate Mr. Vibhuti Nanavati, learned advocate appearing for appellant no.1. 2. What could be noticed that the insurance company claimed the amount is Rs. 3,69,500/-. This is a small and meager amount and considering the aspect of having no dispute in regards to the road accident, I am of the opinion that this appeal may not deserve consideration, more particularly, on the ground of smallness of amount. Accordingly, present first appeal stands dismissed. p. 2 3. It is made clear that present first appeal is dismissed on account of smallness of the amount and the order 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 the appeal on account of smallness of amount is with a view to avoid hardship both physically and financially on the part of the original claimant to appear and defend the case. Therefore, this order shall not be cited as precedent in any pending matters arising from same accident before any Court. 4. R & P, if any, to be sent back to the concerned Court immediately. The appellant is at liberty to revive the appeal in case of difficulty. Consequently connected application/s, if any, also stands disposed of. 5. The learned Tribunal is directed to disburse the entire amount to the claimant after due and proper verification. While making the payment, the Tribunal shall deduct the court-fees, if not paid, in accordance with rules/law. (J. L. ODEDRA, J) JIGAR J RABARI
