Civil Revision No. 6775 of 2011 (O&M) 1 IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH. Civil Revision No. 6775 of 2011 (O&M) Date of decision:- 07.11.2011 Sunita and others ....Petitioners Vs. Motor Accident Claims Tribunal, Shaheed Bhagat Singh Nagar and others ....Respondents CORAM: HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE A.N. JINDAL ****** Present:- Mr. Ashwani Arora, Advocate, for the petitioners. A.N. JINDAL, J (ORAL) This petition assails the order dated 01.10.2011 (Annexure P-2) passed by the Motor Accident Claims Tribunal, Shaheed Bhagat Singh Nagar, Nawanshahr, whereby the amount of award was ordered to be released to petitioner No.1, subject to filing of indemnity bonds in the sum of Rs.2,50,000/- with one surety in the like amount and to petitioner Nos. 2 and 3, subject to fling of indemnity bonds in the sum of Rs.1,00,000/- with one surety in the like amount each in order to indemnify the better claimants. The award was passed by the Tribunal on 21.05.2011. The Court had no information about filing of the appeal, if any. The petitioners are the minor sons and widow of the deceased. It has been submitted that they being the poor people, could not furnish the indemnity bonds. Civil Revision No. 6775 of 2011 (O&M) 2 It would also be pertinent to mention here that Pal Ram had died on 12.12.2004 and since then no better claimant has come to the Court to file the claim petition. As such, the observation of the Court that indemnity bonds as well as surety bonds are asked in order to indemnify any better claimant is quite perverse and could not be expected from the Officer of such a rank. As such, this petition is accepted; the impugned order is set aside and the Motor Accidents Claim Tribunal, Shaheed Bhagat singh Nagar, is directed to release the award amount to the petitioners against proper verification and identification. This petition is disposed of without issuing notice to the respondents with a view to impart complete justice to the parties and to save the huge expenses, which may be incurred by the respondents as also in order to avoid unnecessary delay in adjudication of the matter. Still, if dissatisfied, the respondents may move to this Court for recalling this order. (A.N.JINDAL) November 07, 2011 JUDGE ajp
