RAMESH SINGH vs CINTA DEVI .

The Supreme Court addressed whether a right of appeal under the Motor Vehicles Act, 1939, survives after its repeal by the Motor Vehicles Act, 1988. The Court held that the right of appeal does not accrue to a claimant under the Old Act once it has been repealed, emphasizing the necessity of complying with the provisions of the New Act, specifically Section 173, which mandates a deposit for appeals. The appeal was dismissed as the appellant failed to make the required deposit, affirming the High Court's decision.
