Mr. Kamal Sharma, Advocate, vice Mr. Naresh K. Sharma, for respondents No.2 & 3. CMP No.21168 of 2026 The instant application has been filed on behalf of applicant-respondent No.1, namely, Chander Veer, for release of the awarded amount of compensation lying deposited in the Registry of this Court. As per the applicant, he is in dire need of money as he had suffered 20% permanent disability in the accident, therefore, it is prayed that the awarded amount of compensation may be ordered to be released in his favour. 2. In the reply filed on behalf of the non- applicant/appellant, the application has been opposed on the ground that in the event of appeal being allowed, it would be difficult for the non-applicant/appellant to recover the amount, so released. 3. Heard. Having perused the averments made in the application, which is duly supported with the affidavit of applicant-respondent No.1 and also in view of the fact that the appeal may take sufficiently long time for its final adjudication, this Court finds it in the interest of justice to release 30% of the amount, alongwith up-to-date interest, in favour of the applicant/respondent No.1, which is lying deposited in the Registry of this Court, after proper verification and identification by remitting the same to his bank account, details whereof have been given in para-3 of the application. 4. It is made clear that release of the awarded amount shall be subject to final outcome of the appeal and in the event of appeal being allowed, the applicant/respondent No.1 will have to refund the amount, so released, with interest. The application stands disposed of. ( Sushil Kukreja ) Judge September 11, 2026 (V.Himalvi)
