Whether to be referred to the Reporter? 3. Whether the judgment should be reported in the Digest? * * * PRESENT Mr.Amit Jaiswal, Advocate, for the petitioners. Mr.Eklavya Darshi, Advocate, for respondent No.3. M.M.S. BEDI, J. (ORAL) Petitioners Sonia and Meena along with their mother Daljit Kaur had filed a claim petition on account of death of their father Lakhbir Singh and were awarded compensation vide award dated 11.08.1992, passed by Motor Accident Claims Tribunal, . . . 1 CR No.292 of 2011 (O&M) Ludhiana. The claim petition was filed on 20.03.1991. In the Award of the Tribunal, the father's name of petitioners Sonia and Meena has been written as Lakhbir Singh. The mother of the petitioners, namely Daljit Kaur re-married Darshan Lal in the year 1994. Vide order dated 13.09.2010, an application filed by the petitioners for release of the FDR has been dismissed on the ground that their father's name has been written as Lakhbir Singh whereas they were claiming to be daughters of Darshan Lal. The petitioners had led evidence in the shape of statement of their mother Daljit Kaur and AW.4 Jagdev Singh, a next door neighbour besides appearing as AW.2 & AW.3. Disbelieving them, the amount lying in the FDRs was not released to the petitioners, though the said amount was required for their marriages. I have gone through the statements of Daljit Kaur, the petitioners, as well as the statement of Jagdev Singh Bhangu and for my personal satisfaction required the petitioners to produce their Matriculation Certificate which was issued in the year 2004. Their Matriculation Certificate indicates that their father's name is mentioned as Darshan Lal and mother's name as Daljit Kaur. The only reasoning given by the Court while dismissing the application of the petitioners, is that the executing Court cannot go beyond the award which was passed in favour of the petitioners showing them as daughters of Lakhbir Singh. This revision petition is allowed. Order dated 13.09.2010, is hereby set aside and a direction is issued that the . . . 2 CR No.292 of 2011 (O&M) amount lying in the FDRs of the petitioners be disbursed to them on their furnishing indemnity bonds with an undertaking that in case a better claim is raised by any other person, they would be bound to return the amount to the said claimant.
