It is submitted by the learned counsel that all the claimants/petitioners are major and hence entitled to release of the awarded amount as per their share. After hearing the learned counsel for the claimants/petitioners I am of the opinion that the prayer made is liable to be accepted in view of the law laid down by Hon'ble the Supreme Court in H.S.Ahammed Hussain v. Irfan Ahammed, 2002(3) RCR (Civil)563, wherein it has been opined that the amount payable to an adult cannot be directed to be kept in fixed deposit. Keeping in view the enunciation of law as referred to above, the present revision petition is allowed and the learned MACT, Chandigarh is directed to release the awarded amount to the petitioners which is lying deposited in the shape of FDRs with State Bank of Patiala, District Courts Branch, Sector 17, Chandigarh. This order is being passed without issuing notice to the respondents as no relief has been sought against them. Disposed of. 29.04.2011 (Jaswant Singh) joshi Judge
