RAM CHAND GUPTA, J.(Oral) The present revision petition has been filed under Article 227 of the Constitution of India against order dated 7.5.2011 passed by learned Motor Accidents Claims Tribunal, Fatehabad, (hereinafter to be referred as the `Tribunal') vide which application filed by petitioner-claimant for release of her share of compensation in cash was declined. I have heard learned counsel for the petitioner and have gone through the whole record carefully including the impugned order passed by learned Tribunal. A petition for compensation under Section 166 of the Motor Vehicle Act, 1988, was filed by present petitioner regarding death of her son and daughter-in-law in the accident. Petition was decided in favour of claimant and an amount of `1,08,000/- alongwith interest was awarded vide award dated 5.2.2009 and subsequently award was modified vide order dated 6.6.2009 and a sum of `43,317/- more was awarded. It was also ordered that all the three claimants would be entitled to the said Civil Revision No.4715 of 2011(O&M) -2- compensation in equal shares. Only 25% of the said compensation was paid in cash and the remaining 75% was ordered to be deposited in FDRs. Present petitioner-claimant filed an application before learned Tribunal for releasing the amount of FDRs on the plea that she is a widow, and has attained the age of 75 years and she is having no other means of income. She has also stated that she wants to get her house repaired. Hence, in view of these facts, the present revision petition is accepted. Order passed by learned Tribunal is set aside. Learned Tribunal is directed to release the FDRs to present petitioner alongwith up-to-date interest on proper receipt and identification. 4.8.2011 (Ram Chand Gupta) meenu Judge
