ORDER 1. The claimant Shanti Bai, is the petitioner before this Court. She is aggrieved against an order dated September 14, 2006 passed by the Motor Accident Claims Tribunal, whereby an application filed by the claimant petitioner for withdrawal of the amount lying in two fixed deposits in the bank in the name of deceased Arjun (son of the petitioner Shanti Bai), has been rejected. 2. The facts on record depict that Janu, husband of the petitioner Shanti Bai and father of minor Arjun, had died in a motor accident on January 4, 2001. An award dated February 25, 2003 was passed by Motor Accident Claims Tribunal, whereby the heirs/dependents of the deceased Janu were awarded compensation. The amount of compensation payable to minor Arjun, was ordered to be deposited in a fix deposit, till the aforesaid minor attained majority. Consequently, two fixed deposits, for an amount of Rs. 20,000/- dated October 27, 2001 and another amount of Rs. 42,966/deposited on March 8, 2004, were prepared in the name of minor Arjun. The aforesaid Arjun, however, died on May 27, 2006, leaving behind Smt. Shanti Bai, his mother as the sole legal heir. Consequently, upon the death of Arjun, Shanti Bai filed an application before the Tribunal requesting that the amount of compensation, lying deposited in the fixed deposits in the name of deceased Arjun, be ordered to be disbursed to her. The said application has been rejected by the Tribunal. 3. After hearing the learned counsel for the claimant-petitioner and taking into consideration the facts and circumstances of the case, I find that the order dated September 14,2006 passed by the Tribunal, rejecting the application filed by the claimant-petitioner, is wholly unjustified and not sustainable in law. While passing the main award on February 25, 2003, the Tribunal had awarded compensation in favour of deceased Arjun. Since Arjun was a minor at that point of time, the aforesaid compensation amount was ordered to be deposited in the fix deposits. The amount deposited on March 27, 2001 in the fix deposit was to mature on October 27, 2011 and the maturity value was to be Rs. 46,378/-. Similarly, the amount of Rs. 42,966/- deposited on March 8, 2004 in the fix deposit was to mature on March 8, 2008 and an amount of Rs. 52,934/- was to be paid on maturity. 46,378/-. Similarly, the amount of Rs. 42,966/- deposited on March 8, 2004 in the fix deposit was to mature on March 8, 2008 and an amount of Rs. 52,934/- was to be paid on maturity. Since Arjun, the aforesaid claimant, has expired, the right to receive the aforesaid amount has naturally now accrued to his mother Smt. Shanti Bai. Since there is no other person entitled to receive the said amount, therefore, she had rightly applied for withdrawal of the said amount for disbursement thereof, forthwith. 4. Consequently, the present petition is allowed. The order dated September 14,2006 passed by the Tribunal is set aside. It is directed that the amount of two fixed deposits with interest accrued up-to date, lying deposited in the name of deceased Arjun Singh, shall be disbursed forthwith to the petitioner Smt. Shanti Bai.
