IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH Civil Revision No. 6315 of 2009 (O&M). Date of Decision : 27.1.2010. Sunita Dev ......Petitioner Versus State Bank of India and another ......Respondents CORAM : HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE NAWAB SINGH Present: Mr. Vikas Mailk, Advocate, for the petitioner. NAWAB SINGH J. Challenge herein is to the order dated April 29th, 2009 (Annexure R/2) passed by Motor Accidents Claims Tribunal, Sonepat, whereby, he ordered release of 50% of the amount of Rs.68,892/- lying deposited in the F.D.R., to the petitioner. 2. The amount was awarded to the petitioner on account of death of her daughter in a road accident. By filing the present revision petition, she has pleaded that the entire amount deposited in her name be released to her on the grounds that (i). she is a widow; (ii). she has to maintain her three minor children who are studying and (iii). her son is also not keeping good health and requires medical treatment. The FDR is to mature on August 28th, 2010. 3. Keeping in view the fact that the petitioner is a widow and is to maintain her three minor children, in the opinion of this Court, it would be in her interest to release the said amount. The only object of getting the amount deposited is that the recipient is not defrauded. The amount in fact belongs to the petitioner and it has remained deposited for sufficient time. If the amount is not released and the poor lady dies, it will be a travesty of justice. In view of the above, this petition is allowed. Consequently, the impugned order (Annexure R/2) is set-aside and it is directed that the entire amount lying deposited in the fixed deposit be released to the petitioner. (NAWAB SINGH) JUDGE 27.1.2010. som
