Considering the facts and circumstances of this case, this Court is of the view that the litigation, which was initiated in the year 1989, claiming enhancement of compensation under the Motor Vehicles Act, must come to a logical end Today after 18 years. The appeal was filed in the year 1997 and remained pending for disposal in this Court for the last 10 years.

Since this order was ex parte, a recall of the same was sought and thereafter the Tribunal re- heard the matter, four issues were framed. Finally the learned Tribunal awarded only a sum of Rs. 60,000/- as compensation.
