Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed whether an order under Section 140 of the Motor Vehicles Act, 1988 is appealable. The Court held that such an order is indeed appealable under Section 173 of the Act, as it constitutes an award despite the lack of adjudication by the Tribunal. The Court affirmed the High Court's decision, emphasizing that the right of appeal is a statutory right and applicable in this context.
