IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA MA No.575 of 2009 GAURAV GUPTA, son of Yuvraj Prasad Gupta, resident of Mohaddinagar, P.S.- Mujahidpur, District – Bhagalpur. ----------Applicant/Appellant. Versus UNION OF INDIA THROUGH THE GENERAL MANAGER, N.E.RAILWAY, GORAKHPUR. --------- Respondent/Respondents. ------- 03. 21.07.2010 Heard learned counsel for the appellant. None turned up on behalf of the respondent in spite of valid service of notice. This appeal has been preferred against order dated 27.07.2009 passed by Railway Claim Tribunal, Patna Bench, dismissing M.A. (Execution) No. 00018/2006 which was filed on 26.06.2006. It is undisputed that a substantial amount was awarded as compensation to the appellant with interest vide order dated 25.08.2005 and before initiating the execution proceeding the appellant has already received cheque of Rs. 4 lakhs on 08.12.2005 with an endorsement in full and final satisfaction. No doubt, as it appears from the impugned order, there is some difference between the parties as regard to taking steps by either of the side in discharge of - 2 - liability. The cheque was received by the appellant on 08.12.2005 and this execution case was filed on 26.06.2006 i.e. after lapse of substantially long period with this assertion that under compelling circumstances and coercion etc. the appellant had to endorse his full satisfaction at the time of receiving of the cheque. I find no illegality or irregularity in the order of court below. Accordingly, this appeal stands dismissed. However, as prayed by learned counsel for the appellant, the appellant is at liberty to invoke jurisdiction of other forums, if permissible. Rajeev/ (Akhilesh Chandra, J.)
