Letter dated 8.11.2007 is taken on record. Mr. Adarsh Sharma, learned counsel has very fairly pointed out the instructions dated 8.11.2007, reiterated on 3.2.2009, issued by the Managing Director, Himachal Road Transport Corporation. In terms of the said instructions no recovery of the amount awarded in the claim petitions under the provisions of the Motor Vehicle Act, 1988 is to be recovered from the drivers if they stand acquitted in criminal cases.
