No.4029 of 2010 Date of Decision: 01.07.2010 Kiran .……Petitioner Versus Oriental Bank of Commerce ……Respondent Coram:- HON’BLE MR. JUSTICE L. N. MITTAL. Present: Dr. Naresh Kaushik, Advocate for the petitioner. L. N. MITTAL, J (ORAL) Petitioner was awarded compensation for injuries suffered by her in motor vehicular accident. The Claims Tribunal while passing the Award ordered that the awarded amount of compensation alongwith interest be deposited in fixed deposit initially for one year. Accordingly, the compensation amount including interest was deposited in fixed deposit in the name of the petitioner on 31.05.2010 for one year. However, the petitioner immediately moved application for release of the said amount to her alleging that she needed money for repayment of loan taken for treatment expenses. Learned Claims Tribunal vide impugned order dated 02.06.2010 has dismissed the said application. Feeling aggrieved, the petitioner has filed the instant revision petition under Article 227 of the Constitution of India. I have heard learned counsel for the petitioner and perused the case file. Learned counsel for the petitioner states that the C.R. No.4029 of 2010 -2- compensation amount included Rs.50000/- as non pecuniary damages whereas the remaining amount was towards treatment expenses, special diet and loss of earning. In view of the aforesaid, I am of the considered opinion that ends of justice would be met if the amount of Rs.50000/- being on account of non-pecuniary damages is allowed to remain in fixed deposit whereas the balance amount is released to the petitioner. It is ordered accordingly. The revision petition stands disposed of accordingly. 01.07.2010 ( L. N. MITTAL ) A. Kaundal JUDGE
