Kali Charan the claimant to whom the Tribunal awarded a sum of ` 2,66,632/- as compensation alongwith interest @ 7.5% per annum vide award dated 2.04.2011 and which on realisation was deposited by way of fix deposit, has applied for release of the said amount claiming that he required money for repayment of the loan which he had taken at the time of his treatment. On the said statement, a sum of ` 70,000/- alone has been ordered to be released from the fix deposit vide order dated 30.08.2011. This revision petition has been brought by Kali Charan, challenging the said order dated 30.08.2011 and praying for release of the total amount in his favour. Petitioner Kali Charan is a young man of the age of 26 Civil Revision No. 6215 of 2011(O&M) years. He has suffered injuries in the accident on account of which he has been awarded this amount as compensation. He is shown to have spent a sum of ` 76,632/- on his treatment. The petitioner does not appear to be a man of means and he may have taken loan from friends and relatives for his treatment who may be pressing him for the return of their money. The petitioner being a young man can also make reasonable use of the remaining amount of compensation to augment his income. In these circumstances, there was no reason for declining the prayer of the petitioner for pre mature release of the amount of the FDR. Consequently, the revision petition is allowed and the impugned order is set aside. Learned Tribunal is directed to issue directions to the concerned bank for release of the amount of the FDR to the petitioner. [VIJENDER SINGH MALIK] JUDGE 26th November, 2011 Shivani Kaushik 2
