Smt.A.B.Barve for the respondents. -- CORAM: R.M.S.KHANDEPARKAR & SMT.ROSHAN DALVI, JJ DATED: 3RD MAY 2006. P.C. . Heard. Bare perusal of the impugned judgment shows that the Motor Accident Claims Tribunal has arrived at the finding that the annual income of the deceased was more than Rs.7 lakhs, and considering the same, according to the appellants themselves, the respondents would be entitled for compensation to the tune of Rs.18 lakhs and not the amount which had been awarded by the Motor Accident Claims Tribunal. In the circumstances, there can - 2 - be no justification for refusal of the application filed by the respondents for disbursement of the amount of Rs.18 lakhs out of the total amount of compensation deposited by the appellants with the Tribunal. Hence, the application is partly allowed. The respondents/claimants are permitted to withdraw the amount of Rs.18 lakhs out of the total amount of compensation deposited by the appellants and after deduction of the said amount of Rs.18 lakhs, the balance amount shall be invested in any nationalised bank and the same shall be kept so invested till the expiry of two months after the disposal of the appeal filed in this Court. The application accordingly stands disposed of. (R.M.S.KHANDEPARKAR, J ) (SMT.ROSHAN DALVI, J )
