¶2By the aforesaid order, the application filed by the petitioner, who is the respondent in the claim petition, seeking to condone the delay of 4366 days in filing the application to set aside the ex parte award dated 26.11.2012 passed against the petitioner has been dismissed on the ground that the conditional order passed by the Tribunal on 08.01.2025 directing the petitioner to deposit a sum of Rs.3,50,000/- on or before

12.02.2025 was not complied with.

¶3At the time of filing of this civil revision petition challenging the said order, the petitioner had not deposited the sum of Rs.3,50,000/- as directed by the Motor Accidents Claims Tribunal. However, learned counsel for the petitioner would submit that on 2\4

02.08.2025, a sum of Rs.3,50,000/- has been deposited to the credit of M.C.O.P. No. 228 of 2010. Learned counsel has also produced a copy of the Demand Draft dated 02.08.2025 for a sum of Rs.3,50,000/- favouring the 'The Presiding Officer, E-MACT, Tiruppur, MCOP NO-0228/10' to prove that a sum of Rs. 3,50,000/- has been deposited to the credit of M.C.O.P. No. 228 of 2010. Moreover, on a perusal of the order dated 08.01.2025, it is seen that the Tribunal had observed that the respondents/claimants had also endorsed that the petition in I.A. No. 1 of 2024 may be allowed. The Motor Accidents Claims Tribunal, after referring to the same, in order to protect the interest of respondents/claimants, had directed the petitioner to deposit a sum of Rs.3,50,000/- to the credit of M.C.O.P. No. 228 of 2010. The said amount has also now been deposited by the petitioner as seen from the proof submitted by the learned counsel for the petitioner before this Court.

No.1 of 2024 is hereby set aside and the delay in filing the application to set aside the ex parte award stands condoned. 3\4 ABDUL QUDDHOSE,J. nv
