U.P. JAL NIGAM, LUCKNOW vs MANJU GOEL .

The Supreme Court set aside the order of the Uttranchal High Court that dismissed the appellant's appeal for non-prosecution, holding that the matter deserved to be heard on merits due to the absence of representation caused by the transfer of the case. The Court noted that the appellant, U.P. Jal Nigam, claimed no liability for the compensation awarded by the Motor Accident Claims Tribunal, as the liability had transferred to the Uttranchal Water Supply and Development Nigam. The Court directed the restoration of the appeal and requested the High Court to expedite the disposal of the matter.
