Rajalakshmi v. P.Denash

ORDER The present Civil Revision Petition has been filed against the order, dated 06.12.2022 in M.C.O.P Filing No.212 of 2022 on the file of the MCOP Tribunal Cum Additional District Judge (FTC), Paramakudi, Ramanathapuram District.

¶2The amendment to Section 161 (3) of the Motor Vehicle Act, 1988 with effect from 01.04.2022 has been stayed by the High Court of Patna in Sandeep Raj and the State of Bihar and in Civil Writ Jurisdiction Case Nos.3362, 4402, 4481, 5026 and 6111 of 2022. The High Court of Kerala has also come to a conclusion that the limitation by 6 months cannot be applied as there is no provision in the Act excluding Section 29 (2) of the Limitation Act.

¶3Prima facie, I am of the view that docket order rejecting the claim of the petitioner is un-sustainable. Therefore, the present Civil Revision Petition stands allowed at the time of admission since no adverse orders are proposed to be passed against the respondent. However, the rights of the respondents to argue the case after the case is numbered on the ground of limitation stands preserved. No costs.
