CORAM: A.P.DESHPANDE, J. 16th March, 2009. PC: The present applicants instituted proceedings under section 163A of the Motor Vehicles Act and claimed compensation on account of accidental death of the deceased. The MACT allowing the application granted compensation in the sum of Rs.5,50,000/- together with interest. As the applicant Nos. 2 to 5 were minor when the order was passed the tribunal directed that the amount payable to the applicants 2 to 5 be invested in fixed deposit in nationalised bank till they attain majority. The entire amount including the one payable to applicant No.1 was invested in the bank as the applicant No.1 had not then claimed the amount. By the instant application it is brought to the notice of the court that applicant No.2 has attained majority and thus applicant Nos.1 and 2 are entitled to withdraw the amount. 1 Besides affidavit copy of bonafide certificate issued by the College is placed on record to indicate the date of birth of applicant No.2 which is taken on record and marked `X' for identification. In this view of the matter and having regard to the facts and circumstances and hardship faced by the applicants I permit applicant No.s 1 and 2 to withdraw sum of Rs.1,00,000/- each (total Rs.2 lacs) subject to furnishing security to the satisfaction of the trial court.
