Compensation amount was apportioned among the claimants. Petitioner Vikram Singh was given Rs.60,000/- out of the compensation amount. Petitioner Vikram Singh was minor at that time and, therefore, compensation amount of his share was ordered to be deposited in fixed deposit till he attained the age of 23 years. The C.R. No.6102 of 2010 (O & M) 2 instant revision petition has been filed by the petitioner seeking premature release of the fixed deposit amount which stands deposited vide fixed deposit receipt copy Annexure P-2. I have heard learned counsel for the petitioner and perused the case file. As per school leaving certificate Annexure P-3, date of birth of the petitioner is 09.05.1991 and thus he has attained the age of majority. However, fixed deposit receipt is due for maturity on 23.09.2011. The Tribunal directed that the amount be released to the petitioner after attaining the age of 23 years. There is no justification for retaining the amount of petitioner till age of 23 years. The ends of justice would be met if the amount be released to the petitioner when the fixed deposit receipt matures on 23.09.2011. It is ordered accordingly. The revision petition stands disposed of accordingly. ( L. N. MITTAL ) JUDGE 08.10.2010. A. Kaundal
