M/S Gurunanak Engineering Works v. Ramsata Kaivartya (Died and Deleted)

Order on Board 01/10/2026

¶1This MCC is an application for restoration of Cross Appeal/Cross Objection filed in MAC No.1592/2019.

¶2Learned counsel for the applicant submits that the respondent No.8/Insurance Company had filed an appeal under Section 173 of the Motor Vehicles Act, 1988 (for short, 'MV Act') assailing the award dated 12/03/2019 passed in Claim Case No.345/2016 by the Additional Motor Accident Claims Tribunal, Raipur (C.G.). The said appeal was registered as MAC No.1592/2019. The challenge was made by the respondent No.8/Insurance Company to pay and recover by the learned claims tribunal. The applicant who was respondent No.8 in MAC No.1592/2019 had also filed cross appeal/cross objection under Order 41 Rule 22 of CPC. When the appeal came up for hearing before this Court on 10/08/2026 as the applicant could not appear on two rounds, thus the cross appeal/cross objection filed by the applicant was dismissed for want of prosecution. He also submits that due to bonafide mistake, the applicant could not appear before this Court on 10/08/2026. He further submits that the relief as claimed in the cross appeal/cross objection has not been decided by this Court on merits, which would cause prejudice and irreparable loss to the applicant. He next submits that one opportunity may be granted to the applicant to prosecute his cross appeal/cross objection.

¶3Learned counsel for the respondents opposes the submission.

¶4Be that as it may, taking into consideration and submission made herein above and perusal of the record, this Court is of the view that this application should be allowed, thus the MCC is allowed and the cross appeal/cross objection filed by the applicant in MAC No.1592/2019 is restored to its original number.
