IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH Civil Revision No. 1428 of 2009 (O&M) Date of Decision: March 17, 2009 Paramjit Kaur … Petitioner Versus Motor Accident Claims Tribunal, Karnal and another … Respondents CORAM: HON’BLE MR. JUSTICE S.D. ANAND. Present : Mr. Ashish Gupta, Advocate, for the petitioner. S.D.Anand, J. (Oral) C.M. No.6260-CII of 2009 Allowed, as prayed for. C.R. No. 1428 of 2009 A compensation of Rs.10,00,000/- (Rs.5,00,000/- in favour of the petitioner and remaining Rs.5,00,000/- in favour of her children and her mother-in-law) came to be awarded in respect of the death of the deceased in the impugned accident. (The deceased was husband of the petitioner – Paramjit Kaur, father of three minor children and son of Smt. Bachan Kaur). A part of the amount was ordered to be disbursed and the remaining amount was ordered to be deposited in the FDR. The petitioner applied for C.R. No. 1428 of 2009 disbursement of that part of the awarded amount which had been deposited in an FDR, to enable her to repair her house. The plea for disbursement of the remaining amount came to be dismissed by the learned Tribunal on the plea that the disbursement is not warranted by the award itself. The petitioner is a widow who has to fend for her fatherless children as well. She requires money for effecting repairs of the homestead. The money (i.e. her part of the share) is, by all means, hers. She has indicated adequate reasons to justify the disbursement thereof to her. The petition is allowed in limine. The amount of her share of compensation shall be disbursed to her in toto. March 17, 2009 ( S.D. Anand ) vkd Judge 2
