In the High Court for the States of Punjab and Haryana at Chandigarh … C.R. No. 1074 of 2008 Date of decision: February 4,2009 Bhupinder Singh .Petitioner Versus Vijay Kumar Yadav and others ..Respondents Coram: Hon'ble Mr.Justice Rakesh Kumar Garg Present: Mr. J.K.Goel, Advocate for the Petitioner. Mr. N.K.Manchanda, Advocate for respondent No.3 ... Rakesh Kumar Garg,J. By way of this petition, the petitioner has challenged the order dated 8.1.2008 passed by the Motor Accident Claims Tribunal, Karnal whereby his application for release of the amount lying deposited in a term deposit receipt with Union Bank of India, Model Town Karnal was partly allowed and the petitioner was allowed to withdraw 50 % of the deposited amount. The brief facts for disposal of this revision petition are that the Motor Accident Claims Tribunal, Karnal vide its award dated 17.5.2007 awarded a compensation to the petitioner to the tune of Rs. 3, 47,000/- on account death of Suresh Kumari and petitioner was further awarded a sum of Rs. 26,675/- as compensation on account of injuries suffered by him in the accident. Petitioner was also held entitled to interest at the rate of 7.5 % per annum from the date of filing of the claim petition till the amount is actually realized. The liability of the respondents shall be joint and several. Vide the aforesaid award, the Tribunal also directed to deposit the share of the compensation of the petitioner in some nationalized bank for a period of 5 years and he was allowed to withdraw the monthly interest. Accordingly a sum of Rs. 1,06,478/- was deposited in Union Bank of India, Model Town, Karnal vide term deposit receipt No.504076 dated 8.11.2007. The condition of deposit of the share of compensation belonging to the petitioner in a nationalized bank for 5 years as imposed by the Motor Accident Claims Tribunal Karnal was not challenged by the petitioner. Petitioner moved an application for withdrawal of the aforesaid amount lying deposited in the term deposit receipt on the ground that he was in acute need of the amount as he had taken loan from his relatives and friends which he spent on the last rites of his wife, who expired in the accident and the said loan was still pending. It was also stated by him that he needs some amount for construction of house. The Motor Accident Claims Tribunal, Karnal vide impugned order dated 8.1.2008 ordered the release of 50 % of the amount lying deposited in Union Bank of India, Model Town, Karnal from the share of the petitioner. Still not satisfied, the petitioner has filed the present revision petition praying for modification of the impugned order dated 8.1.2008 praying that the remaining amount be also released to him. I have heard learned counsel for the petitioner. Vide impugned award dated 17.5.2007, the compensation amount was ordered to be deposited in some nationalized bank for a period of 5 years. This condition imposed by the Motor Accident Claims Tribunal,Karnal has not been challenged by the petitioner. Even otherwise, vide impugned order, the petitioner has been allowed to withdraw 50 % of the amount deposited. Thus I find no error in the impugned order. Dismissed.
