This appeal is at the instance of the owner of the vehicle involved in the accident. He has been held liable to pay the compensation. Therefore, the appellant has to necessarily make the statutory deposit as provided under first proviso to Section 173(1) of the Act. Last time when the appeal came up for admission, learned counsel for the appellant had prayed for time to enable him to make the deposit. Today when the case is taken up, it is submitted by the learned counsel that the appellant is not in a position to make the deposit. Therefore, the appeal cannot be entertained. Accordingly, the appeal is rejected. A.K.BASHEER, JUDGE P.Q.BARKATH ALI, JUDGE jes
