APPLICANTS Vs. NEW INDIA ASSURANCE CO. & ANR. .. RESPONDENTS Mr. P. N. Khankar for the applicants Mr. S.M. Vidyarthi for respondents CORAM:SMT.RANJANA DESAI & A. A. SAYED, JJ. DATE: 11/4/2008 P.C. . By order dated 20/6/07 this court had directed the Motor Accident Claims Tribunal ("Tribunal" for short) to invest the amount deposited by the appellant in the post office monthly income scheme initially for a term of seven years with a direction that principal amount shall not be withdrawn without prior permission from High Court. We are informed by learned counsel for the appellant that the appellant has deposited an amount of Rs.3,93,343/- and Rs.1,80,434/- in the 2 Tribunal. 2. Thereafter the respondent got the order modified from this court on 6/12/07. The said order runs as under: "By consent of parties the trial court is directed that while investing the amount pursuant to the court’s order dated 20/6/2007 passed in Civil Application No. 5265 of 2006, the amount be invested in post office at Mangalweda, Taluka: Mangalweda, Dist: Solapur". 3. We have been shown a copy of the letter sent by Sub-Post Master Mangalweda to Superintendent of Post Office Pandharpur Division, Pandharpur stating the reasons why the order passed by the Tribunal cannot be implemented. The reasons are as under: (1) MIS account is to be opened in multiples of Rs.1500/- while the amount for investment is odd one as above. (2) No account can be opened in the name of designation but in the name of the individual. (3) Amount of monthly interest cannot be 3 transferred in the S.B. account of the person other than the holder of M.I.S. account. (4) The period of M.I.S. account is fixed for six years, however the tribunal has mentioned the period of seven years for the investment. 4. In our opinion, certain directions are necessary to secure compliance of the Tribunal’s order. Hence, we issue the following directions. a) The Tribunal is directed to pay a sum of Rs.434/- to Sunderabai Sukhdeo Sope and Rs.343/- to Shobha Jagannath Sope, so that the amount which is to be invested can be rounded up. b) The Tribunal is directed to forward a cheque in the sum of Rs.3,93,000/- in the name of Shobha Jagannath Sope and another cheque in the sum of Rs.1,80,000/- in the name of Sunderabai Sukhdeo Sope to Mangalweda Post Office. c) The Sub-Post Master Mangalweda is directed to invest the said amount in the monthly income scheme initially for a period of six years instead of seven years as directed. The principal amount shall not be withdrawn without prior permission of 4 this court. 5. Earlier order passed on the civil application by this court stand modified to this extent. Civil Application is disposed of. JUDGE JUDGE
