L. ODEDRA Date : 02/02/2026 ORAL ORDER 1. Heard learned advocate Mr. Tanmay B Karia appearing for the Appellant No.1 2. What could be noticed is that the insurance company has challenged an amount to the tune of Rs. 5,00,000/-. This is a small and meager amount and considering the fact that as such there is no dispute in regards the happening of a 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. 1 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, more so when this Court has not 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. 5. The appellant is at liberty to revive the appeal in case of difficulty. 6. Consequently connected application/s, if any, also stands disposed of. 7. The learned Tribunal is directed to disburse the entire amount to the claimant after due and proper verification. p. 2 8. While making the payment, the Tribunal shall deduct the courts fees, if not paid, in accordance with rules/law. (J. L.
