RITU BAHRI J.(Oral) This is a revision against the order dated 17.09.2011 passed by the then learned District Judge-cum-Motor Accidents Claims Tribunal, Chandigarh whereby an application for release of FDR has been declined (P-1). Vide order dated 08.12.1999, learned District Judge-cum-Motor Accidents Claims Tribunal, Chandigarh has passed an award whereby a direction was given to respondent No.-1 i.e Daljinder Singh to pay a compensation of ` 8,68,000/- to Gaurav s/o Balbir Rai (petitioner herein). It was further directed that ` 50,000/- (in cash) shall also be paid to Gaurav keeping in view that he is 100% crippled and the balance amount amount was directed to be kept in fixed deposit with the State Bank of Patiala, District Courts Branch, Chandigarh, initially for a period of 5 years to be renewed from time to time. However, on the request of the petitioner, the amount has been deposited with the Bank of Rajasthan Ltd Branch, Civil Revision No. 6108 of 2011 (O&M) -2- Sanjay Public School, Chandigarh for a sum of ` 13,53,808/- w.e.f 04.10.2006 The date of birth of the petitioner is 20.01.1981, so the petitioner made an application for release of the FDR which was due to mature on 04.10.2011. Learned counsel for the petitioner has submitted that petitioner is married and has one son, who is about 5 years of age. Mr. Raman Mahajan, learned counsel for the petitioner submits that at the time when compensation was given to the petitioner, he was minor and now he is married and, therefore, he requires money to secure the present and future of his family. Keeping in view the larger interest of the petitioner and his family, he is interested to invest his money in real estate i.e in the plot or in the flat in the name of the petitioner. The prayer is fair in the given circumstances. The amount in FDR is to the extent of ` 13,53,808/-. In view of the above, a direction is given to the Bank of Rajasthan Ltd Branch, Sanjay Public School, Chandigarh to release the FDR in favour of Gaurav (petitioner herein) Accordingly, civil revision is allowed.
