( 1 ) THIS appeal is directed against award in MV. O. P. No. 682 of 1994 decided by the learned Motor Accidents Claims Tribunal at Tirupati on 17-3-1997. After hearing the arguments for the learned Counsel we are not inclined to admit the appeal and it deserves to be dismissed at the threshold for brief reasons to follow : the appellants had made a claim before the Tribunal for compensation of Rs. 3,50,000/ -. Appellant No. 1 is the widow and appellants 2 and 3 are minor children while appellant Nos. 4 and 5 are the parents of deceased b. H. Gururaj, who met with a fatal accident which took place on 13-5-1994. The vehicle involved in the said fatal accident was A. P. (sic. Karnataka) State road Transport Corporation s Bus. The Tribunal accepted the claim of the claimants for compensation in full and awarded all the compensation that was claimed, i. e. , amount of Rs. 3,50,000/- with interest on the said amount at 12% from the date of petition till date of realisation. In spite of the Award having been passed by the Tribunal wholly in favour of the appellants, now the appellants have preferred this appeal.

( 2 ) THE short question is whether the appeal is maintainable
