*** NIDHI GUPTA, J. (ORAL) The present appeal has been filed by the injured-claimant seeking enhancement of compensation of Rs.9,74,000/- awarded by the learned Motor Accident Claims Tribunal, Rewari vide Award dated 03.02.2021 passed in MACP Case No. 868 dated 21.05.2018 filed under Section 166 of the Motor Vehicles Act, 1988.

Present appeal is of the year 2022. However, notice is yet to be issued as the matter has been repeatedly adjourned either due to nonappearance; or at request of learned counsel for the appellant. Today also, even in second round, none appeared on behalf of the appellant. A bare reading of the above facts shows that the appellant has exhibited an utterly casual and careless attitude in his pursuit of the present litigation. It is to be appreciated that very valuable public time of the Court has been expended in affording opportunities to the appellant in the interest of justice. It is clear that neither the appellant nor his counsel DIVYANSHI 2026.02.12 10:55 I attest to the accuracy and integrity of this document
