IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH CR No.509 of 2009 Date of decision: 24.4.2009 Mukhtiar Kaur and another ......Petitioners Versus Bajaj Allianz Insurance Company ......Respondents CORAM:- HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE RAKESH KUMAR GARG * * * Present: Mr. Amarjit Markan, Advocate and Mr. Mikhail Kad, Advocate for the petitioner. Rakesh Kumar Garg, J.(Oral). The petitioners have filed this revision petition challenging the order dated 7.1.2009 passed by the Motor Accident Claims, Tribunal, Sangrur whereby the amount of compensation deposited by the respondent towards the share of the petitioners in pursuance of the award passed in MACT Case No.67 dated 6.6.2007 decided on 30.7.2008, was ordered to be kept in a fixed deposit for a period of three years in State Bank of India with the specific direction to the Banker not to encash the FDRs before the expiry of the said period without prior permission of the Court. Despite service of the notice upon the respondent, no one has appeared on behalf of the respondent-Company. Learned counsel appearing on behalf of the petitioners has referred to para No.1 of the revision petition to submit that while passing the award, the Motor Accident Claims Tribunal, Sangrur, had not given any directions for keeping the compensation amount of the petitioners in a fixed deposit and therefore, the impugned order is liable to be set aside. I have given my thoughtful consideration to the submission made by the learned counsel for the petitioners and find force in it. CR No.509 of 2009 -2- Taking into consideration the averments made in this petition and the circumstances of the case that there were no directions for keeping the amount of the claimants/petitioners in the FDRs, the impugned order is set aside. The petitioner shall be free to encash the FDRs before the expiry of the said period. The revision petition is disposed of. April 24, 2009 (RAKESH KUMAR GARG) ps JUDGE
