DATED : 7TH JUNE, 2010. P. C.: By this application, the applicants pray for permission to withdraw further amount of Rs.7,08,966/- without security. We are in agreement with the objection taken by the learned Counsel for the respondent – Insurance company that the applicants/appellants have already been permitted to withdraw the amount to the extent of Rs.13 lacs without security. Therefore, if the applicants intend to withdraw the further amount, as mentioned in this application, that may be permitted on offering suitable security. Learned Counsel for the applicants submits that the applicants have no means to provide suitable security to withdraw further amount. In that case, the applicants would press for early hearing of the appeal 2 itself. 2. In the circumstances, the application is allowed only to the extent of request for early hearing of the first appeal on the ground that the applicant No.1 is a senior citizen. Other relief claimed in this application is not pressed for the time being, with liberty to renew the same if and when occasion arises. 3. Application is disposed of in the above terms. Office is directed to place the appeal for final hearing under caption `senior citizen' in the week commencing from 21st June, 2010 as per its turn. Sd/- Sd/- (A. A. SAYED, J.) (A. M. KHANWILKAR, J.)
