Sandeep Kumar – husband of petitioner No.1 and father of petitioners No.2 to 4 died in a road accident. The petitioners filed a claim petition No.60 of 2005 which was allowed by the Motor Accident Claims Tribunal, Kaithal vide award dated 30.10.2007 granting compensation of Rs.4.18 lacs. Out of that, a sum of Rs.1,50,757/- has been deposited in the FDR in the name of the petitioner No.1 whereas the balance amount has been deposited in FDRs in the names of minor children, namely, petitioners no.2 to 4. The 1st petitioner moved an application for releasing a sum of rs.1.80 lacs to enable her to construct the house. As noticed above, the Tribunal, vide the impugned order, has permitted the release of payment of Rs.1 lacs out of the said total amount. Having heard learned counsel for the parties and taking into consideration the plea taken by the petitioner that she wants to construct a pucca house in the village, this revision petition is disposed of with liberty to petitioner No.1 to again approach the MACT, Kaithal along with photographs as well as a report from the Sarpanch of the Gram Panchayat to the effect that she has already started the construction of the house. If the application is supported with aforesaid report/photographs and other convincing material, the Tribunal shall consider the desirability of releasing the balance amount as well, lying in the name of petitioner only, in her FDR.
