Case Summary: Mahendra Rathore v. Omkar Singh Outcome: The Supreme Court allowed the appeals and set aside the dismissal orders from both the Motor Accident Claims Tribunal and High Court. The claim petition was restored to its original status and remanded to the Tribunal for trial on merits. Key Facts: Rathore's motor accident claim was dismissed in default on 27.01.1998. His restoration application under CPC Order 9 Rule 9 was rejected by the Tribunal and High Court, despite being supported by medical evidence of illness on the hearing date. Direction: The Tribunal was directed to expeditiously dispose of the petition, commencing from the stage where it was dismissed, adopting a justice-oriented rather than technical approach in motor accident matters. No costs awarded. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
