Civil Revision No. 2546 of 2009 -1- **** IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH Civil Revision No. 2546 of 2009 Date of decision: 5.05.2009. Krishan Petitioner Versus Azad Singh and other ...Respondents CORAM: HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE S.D.ANAND. Present: Mr. B.S.Tewatia, Advocate the petitioner. **** S.D.ANAND, J. The petitioner was awarded a compensation of Rs. 3 lacs on account of the injuries sustained by him in the course of the impugned accident in which his father died. His mother has remarried. His paternal grand father has applied for theleave of the Court for the release of Rs. 2 lacs (out of the deposited compensation) to enable him to purchase the land in the name of the minor petitioner. The plea did not find favour with the learned Trial Court. For all practical purposes, the petitioner does not have protective care of the parents inasmuch as his father died in the impugned accident; while hismother had remarried and gone over to her second husband. The money is, by all means, that of the minor petitioner. The purchase of land in his name shall, obviously, enure for his Civil Revision No. 2546 of 2009 -2- **** benefit in the times to come. The amount deposited earns less than reasonable amount of interest. The petition shall stand allowed accordingly. The learned Tribunal is directed to release a sum of Rs. 2 lcas in favour of the minor petitioner to enable his paternal grand father to purchase land in the name of the minor petitioner. In order to ensure that the amount is not misused, the learned Tribunal would be well advised to order the bank authorities to release the amount in the form of a draft in the name of proposed vendee. It shall also be particularly noticed in the sale deed itself (by the Registering authority) that the land purchased in the name of minor shall not be sold off without the permission of the Court during the minority of the petitioner.
