IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH. C.R. No. 4853 of 2008 Date of Decision: October 31, 2008 Bimla Rani and others .....Petitioners Versus M.A.C.T. Kurukshetra and others .....Respondents CORAM: HON’BLE MR JUSTICE T.P.S.MANN Present : Mr. Vivek Goyal, Advocate for the petitioners. *** T.P.S.MANN, J , Notice of motion was issued to respondent No.3 only. As per the report on the dasti process, the said respondent has been duly served. Inspite of the same, no one has appeared on his behalf. Proceeded against ex parte. Civil Revision No.4853 of 2008 -2- Prayer in the revision is for releasing the amount of the compensation which has been granted to the claimants-petitioners but invested in fixed deposits in their respective names for a period of three years. An application was filed by the petitioners for the release of the amount from their respective fixed deposits on the ground that the marriage of Rekha Rani-petitioner was to be solemnized on 7.9.2008 and for that purpose the amount was required. It was also pleaded that the petitioners had no source of income or any other resource from which they could arrange funds for performing the marriage of Rekha Rani. The application was, however, disposed of by learned Motor Accident Claims Tribunal, Kurukshetra, vide impugned order dated 5.9.2008 by releasing an amount of Rs.50,000/- in favour of Bimla Rani-petitioner and Rs.20,000/- in favour of Rekha Rani-petitioner. Learned counsel for the petitioners has submitted that the total amount of Rs.70,000/- which had been released by the learned Tribunal was not adequate so as to take care of the expenses which were incurred by the petitioners on the marriage of Rekha Rani-petitioner. The petitioners had to borrow a lot of money from their near relatives in that regard. Accordingly, prayer has now been made for the release of the remaining amount of compensation to the petitioners so that they may return the amount borrowed by them and also for their own well being. Civil Revision No.4853 of 2008 -3- There is no denial of the fact that an amount of Rs.70,000/- has already been released in favour of the petitioners out of total amount of Rs.3,98,000/- granted as compensation to them. Though Rekha Rani- petitioner has already been married but the amount of Rs.70,000/- was not found adequate by the petitioners to bear the expenses incurred on her marriage. They are stated to have borrowed some amount from their near relatives. Besides, the petitioners are not possessing any source of income. Under these circumstances , more money can be released in favour of the petitioners so that they may tide over the difficult times faced by them. The revision is, accordingly, disposed of by directing the release of another sum of Rs.1 lac in favour of petitioner-Bimla Rani and an amount of Rs.25,000/- in favour of petitioner-Rekha Rani and similar amount in favour of Manish Kumar-petitioner against proper receipts and identification, as per rules.
