17. This Court has held in a series of cases, one of such is reported in Sarjubai v. Gurudip Singh, 1994 Ace CJ 997, that Tribunal constituted under the Motor Vehicles Act is a "Court Subordinate to the High Court" within the meaning of Section 115 of the Code of Civil Procedure and is, therefore, amenable to revisional jurisdiction. The Constitutional power of this Court under Art. 227, of exercising superintendence over all subordinate Courts and Tribunals can also be invoked in cases where by awarding extremely high amount of compensation the Tribunal has acted arbitrarily in exercise of its jurisdiction.
The decision of Madhya Pradesh High Court in Sarjubai's case, 1994 ACJ 997 (MP), that where the compensation is shockingly excessive the Tribunal's award is liable to challenge under Article 227 of the Constitution of India or in revision is in conflict with the Apex Court decision in Sadhana Lodh. The observations in Sadhana Lodh about availability of the remedy of revision are in reference to cases where no appeal is provided. The reasoning that another remedy can be availed of as the scope of the statutory appeal is limited has not been accepted by the Apex Court as sound.
