The operative directions in the common award of the MACT, Kozhikode impugned in these appeals present a rather disquieting and disturbing feature. Those directions demonstrate the lack of sensitivity on the part of the Tribunal in casting unjustified stigmas against a member of the legal profession.

2. The common appellant in these appeals is an Advocate by profession ordinarily practising in the Courts at Kozhikode. In these appeals filed under Section 341 Cr.P.C, the appellant challenges the prosecution ordered against him by the Motor Accidents Claims Tribunal (MACT for short), Kozhikode in O.P (M.V) Nos.442 and 576 of 2004. As per the impugned common award, the Tribunal has ordered prosecution against the claimants and their counsel (the appellant herein) by directing the Sheristhadar of the Tribunal to file separate complaints against the claimants therein as well as their counsel (the appellant herein) before the Chief Judicial Magistrate, Kozhikode. In compliance of the said order two separate complaints have been lodged against the appellant before the C.J.M seeking to prosecute him for offences punishable under Sections 196, 197, 198, 199, 200, 463, 464 and 468 I
