IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH. C.R. No. 7754 of 2010 Date of decision: 25.4.2011 Varsha Chopra and others … Petitioners versus Presiding Officer,MACT, Faridabad, and others … Respondents CORAM: HON’BLE MR. JUSTICE ARVIND KUMAR Present: Mr. ShivKumar, Advocate, for the petitioners ... ARVIND KUMAR, J: The present petitioners are the claimants in the motor accident claim case instituted by the widow, two children and mother of deceased Satish Chopra. They were awarded a compensation of Rs.21,14,132/- along with 7½ per cent interest from the date of institution of the application till realization, vide award dated 24.11.2009 passed by the Motor Accident Claims Tribunal, Faridabad. The amount is stated to have been deposited. The present petitioners are aggrieved with the order dated 4.10.2010 by virtue of which their request for withdrawal of 50 per cent amount in cash has been dismissed and it has been ordered that the entire amount be deposited in a fixed deposit. Counsel for the petitioners contends that the petitioners are hard of money. Their children are major and are studying and money is utterly needed for upbringing of the children and running house-hold expenses. Counsel also contends that in the award, apportionment of the share has not been made but as per instructions, award be apportioned in equal share amongst all the claimants. Since the petitioners have lost the sole earning hand, they would definitely be requiring the amount for upbringing of the children and C.R. No. 7754 of 2010 -2- running the house-hold expenses. In view of this, the revision petition is allowed and the impugned order is modified to the extent that out of the awarded amount, 40 per cent amount be disbursed to all the claimants in equal share and remaining 60 per cent amount be deposited in a fixed deposit as directed in the award. The revision petition stands disposed of accordingly. April 25, 2011 ( ARVIND KUMAR ) JS JUDGE
