JUSTICE HEMANT M. PRACHCHHAK Date : 13/03/2026 ORAL JUDGMENT 1. Heard learned advocate for the respective parties. 2. Learned advocates for the parties pointed out that the captioned petition may not deserve the consideration on merits owing to the smallness of the amount awarded by the concerned Tribunal. It is noticed that the disputed p. 2 amount in the present petition is only Rs.25,000/-. 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 petition may not deserve consideration, more particularly, on the ground of smallness of amount. Accordingly, present petition stands dismissed. 3. It is made clear that the present petition 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 petition on account of smallness of amount is with a view to avoid hardship both physically and 'nancially on the part of the original claimant 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. The entire awarded amount be disbursed and released p. 3 in favour of claimant/s, if not disbursed, after due veri'cation by transferring said amount/s to the account/s of claimant/s by RTGS or NEFT. 6. The petitioner is at liberty to revive the petition in case of di0iculty. Sd/- (HEMANT M. PRACHCHHAK,J) SURESH SOLANKI
