ORDER

The present Miscellaneous Appeal has been filed against the Judgement/Award dated 10.02.2014, passed by Ld. Additional Motor Accidents Claims Tribunal, Adhoc-III, Gaya in MAC Case No. 78 of 2001 (DJ) / 56 of 2013. The Appellant has annexed a certified copy of the impugned Judgement/Award but not deposited statutory amount of Rs. 25,000/-.

2. The office has pointed out two defects - first being that the certified copy of the Award has not been filed. The second defect being that statutory amount of Rs. 25,000/- has not been deposited.

3. Ld. counsel for the Appellant submits that he has already filed certified copy of the Judgment/Award and hence the defect as pointed out by the office in regard to filing a copy of Award is not sustainable, hence it may be waived off.

4. In this context, he refers to the ruling of Hon'ble Division Bench of this Court in M/s United India Insurance Company Limited vs. Most. Mangli Devi & Ors. as reported in 2017 (2) PLJR 9 wherein Hon'ble Division Bench has clearly held that “...... the expression 'judgment' and 'award' are inter changeable and that the Tribunal shall announce award on completion of inquiry, which shall be executable and appealable.
