JUDGMENT : Viney Mittal , J.:- Anaward dated April 1, 2008, passed by the Motor Accident Claims Tribunal in favour of the present petitioner has attained finality. Anamount of Rs.83 ,030 /- along with future interest atthe rate of 9% per annum was awarded as compensation to the petitioner, onaccount of the injuries suffered by him. Whereas 50% of the awarded amount hadbeen ordered to be paid to the petitioner, in cash, remaining 50% amount wasordered to be deposited in fixed deposit account. Anapplication was later on moved by the petitioner before the Motor AccidentClaims Tribunal for withdrawal of the aforesaid amount, lying deposited in thefixed deposit. The aforesaid application has been rejected by the Tribunal videorder dated May 17, 2010. Itis in these circumstances, that the petitioner has approached this Courtthrough the present petition. Afterhearing learned counsel for the petitioner and taking into consideration thefacts and circumstances of the case and also the fact that essentially theamount of compensation was for the benefit of the petitioner himself, who hadsuffered injuries and who now requires the amount in question for furthertreatment, I deem it appropriate to allow the present civil revision and consequentlydirect that the amount of money lying in fixed deposit, along with interestthereupon, up till date, shall be disbursed to the claimant-petitioner, forthwith.
