THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE GOPALA KRISHNA TAMADA CRIMINAL REVISION CASE NO.1370 OF 2003 ORDER: 1. The petitioners who are the minor daughters of the first respondent herein filed this revision questioning the order dated 30.04.2003 in Crl.M.P.No.77 of 2002 in M.C.Sr.No.78 of 2002 on the file of the Court of the Judge, Family Court, Warangal whereby the court below refused to entertain the said application. 2. Brief facts are that the first respondent herein is the father of the petitioners and that because of the disputes between the first respondent and the mother of the petitioners, their mother filed OP No.70 of 1999 against the husband i.e. first respondent herein seeking divorce and the matter was referred to Lok Adalat and the Lok Adalat compromised the said case on 05.02.2000. As per the said compromise entered into between the parties, the petitioners herein were paid an amount of Rs.1,00,000/- and Rs.50,000/- by way of fixed deposits and the same were directed to be kept in any nationalised bank till they attain majority. As the petitioners herein are not in a position to maintain themselves they filed the said application for withdrawal of the said amounts and as stated supra, the court below dismissed the said application stating that it is not maintainable. 3. Heard both sides 4. It is a fact that an amount of Rs.1,00,000/- and Rs.50,000/- were deposited by way of fixed deposits by the respondent herein in favour of the petitioners and the petitioners herein, in my considered view, are always at liberty to withdraw interest accrued on the said fixed deposits. Instead of approaching the court below seeking permission to withdraw the interest, the petitioners in a hurry approached the trial court as well as this court seeking withdrawal of the amounts deposited by way of fixed deposits. At this juncture, the learned counsel for the respondent submitted that the petitioners have attained majority. In the light of the said submission, this court is of the view that if the petitioners attained majority, they are always at liberty to withdraw the entire amount lying in the fixed deposits with accrued interest and if they still continue to be minors, as stated supra, they can as well approach the court below and file an application seeking permission to withdraw the interest so long as they attain majority. 5. With the above observations, this revision case is disposed of. -------------- 26.08.2010 Kvsn
