JUDGMENT

The petitioner has been saddled with the liability to pay compensation under the Motor Accident Claims Tribunal's award. The petitioner was ex parte throughout the proceedings. The petitioner filed applications for setting aside Ext.P4 ex parte award. Exts.P5 and P5(a) are the applications. In the meanwhile, revenue recovery proceedings are initiated against the petitioner to recover the amount awarded by the Motor Accidents Claims Tribunal.

Considering the pending applications for setting aside the award, there shall be a direction to the Motor Accident Claims Tribunal, Pathanamthitta, to consider the applications for setting aside the award filed in O.P.(MV) No.251/2005, within six weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment. To work out the reliefs as above, the revenue recovery proceedings against the petitioner shall be deferred for a period of two months.

The writ petition is disposed of as above.
