JUDGMENT

The petitioner, who was the registered owner of a stage carriage that was involved in a road traffic accident, is aggrieved by the award passed by the Motor Accident Claims Tribunal, Kozhikode whereby the insurance company was permitted to recover the compensation amounts awarded to the respondents from the petitioner as well. It is the case of the petitioner that, he has filed Exts.P7 and P8 applications before the Motor Accident Claims Tribunal, Kozhikode, for setting aside the ex parte award against him, and that the said applications are pending consideration before the said Tribunal. In the meanwhile, however, Ext.P9 recovery notice has been served upon him for realisation of the amounts due to the insurance company as awarded by the Tribunal.

2. I have heard Sri.K.P.Sudheer, learned counsel appearing for the petitioner, learned Government Pleader appearing for the first respondent and Sri.M.A.George, learned standing counsel appearing for the second respondent. In the nature of the orders that I propose to pass, I do not deem it necessary to issue notice to respondent Nos.3 to 17.

W.P.(C) No. 559 of 2015 (T)

3. On a consideration of the facts and circumstances of the case and also the submissions made across the Bar, I direct that Ext.P9 Revenue Recovery notice shall be kept in abeyance till such time as the Motor Accident Claims Tribunal, Kozhikode, considers and passes orders on Exts.P7 & P8 applications filed by the petitioner for setting aside the ex parte award, and communicates the same to the petitioner.

The writ petition is disposed as above.
