Heard the learned counsel on either side.

3.

It has been brought to the notice of this Court that a batch of appeals in C.M.A. Nos. 2034 of 2013, 3024 of 2014 & 335 to 338 of 2015, challenging the awards passed in respect of other claimants, with regard to the very same accident in question, were dismissed by this Court, by judgment dated 06.03.2015, holding that the compensation amounts awarded by the Tribunal, in respect of the claimants therein, are reasonable. In this case as well, the compensation awarded by the Tribunal is only Rs.25,000/- and the Transport Corporation ought not to have filed any appeal challenging such a meagre amount. Hence, this Court is not inclined to entertain the appeal. The appeal fails and the same is dismissed. No costs. Connected M.P. Is closed.
