U.P.STATE ROAD TRANSPORT CORP. vs COMPOTAR — C.A. No. 243/2010

Summary: The Supreme Court allowed U.P. State Road Transport Corporation's special leave petition against the Allahabad High Court's dismissal of their appeal in a motor accident compensation case. The High Court had erroneously dismissed the appeal solely on the ground that the Regional Manager lacked competency to file it, ignoring that he was impleaded as a party. The Supreme Court set aside the High Court's judgment and remitted the case for merit-based adjudication, directing that the State Road Transport Corporation be impleaded as appellant in the first appeal. Compensation of Rs. 8,11,351/- deposited with the tribunal shall be disbursed to the respondent pending final disposal of the appeal.
