IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH Civil Revision No.4151 of 2009 (O&M) Date of Decision 07.09.2009 National Insurance Company ...... Petitioner VERSUS Charanjit Kaur and others ......Respondents CORAM:- HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE A.N.JINDAL Present: Ms.Vandana Malhotra, Advocate, for the petitioner. ***** A.N.JINDAL, J(ORAL): This petition, preferred by the petitioner-Insurance Company (herein referred as 'the petitioner') is directed against the order dated 23.05.2009, passed by Motor Accident Claims Tribunal (Adhoc), Patiala. The Tribunal vide order dated 23.05.2009, directed the petitioner to deposit the awarded amount within two months, failing which it would be liable to pay the future interest @ 6% per annum. The petitioner treated the words as “two months” from the date of receipt of copy of the order and deposited the amount well within time from the date receipt of copy of the order i.e. 30.06.2008. The amount was deposited on 22.07.2008. Thus, it appears that the petitioner was in all its bonafides to deposit the said amount and claimants were not entitled to receive the interest on the award amount as ordered by the Tribunal. The Court should have read the words 'within two months' as from the date of supplying of the copy of the order and not from the date of the order, as the petitioner, being juristic person, could proceed only on receipt of the copy of the order and not supposed to proceed on the basis of oral pronouncement. The amount could also be deposited on the basis of the copy of the order. This petition is disposed of without issuing notice to the respondent(s) with a view to impart complete justice to the parties and to save huge expenses which may be incurred by the respondents as also in order to avoid unnecessary delay in adjudication of the matter. If still dissatisfied, the respondents may move this Court for recalling this order. (A.N.Jindal) Judge 07.09.2009 mamta-II
