Vide judgment/award dated 19.3.2024, learned Railway Claims Tribunal awarded compensation to the tune of Rs.7,20,000/- in favour of the claimant-petitioner. Rs. 72000/- was directed to be paid to the applicant immediately whereas, remaining amount i.e. Rs.6,48,000/- was directed to be invested in the fixed deposit scheme of a nationalized bank for a period of three years. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that due to the train accident, the petitioner suffered amputation of right leg three inches below knee, amputation of three fingers of left foot and [2025:RJ-JP:17967] (2 of 2) [CW-6168/2025] amputation of half foot of the left leg, which is evident from the photographs of the petitioner annexed with this writ petition. He further submits that the petitioner has become physically handicapped/disabled person. He has no other source of income and as such, he is facing great financial hardship. He thus, prays that the instant writ petition may be allowed and the FD of Rs. 6,48,000/- may be released in his favour forthwith. Learned counsel for the respondent oppose the prayer made in the writ petition. He however does not dispute the physical disabilities suffered by the petitioner. After having heard and considered the submissions advanced by the learned counsel for the petitioner and perusing the material available on record, in the interest of justice, I deem it just and proper to accept the prayer of the petitioner in part. Accordingly, this writ petition is partly allowed and it is directed that out of the FDR of Rs.6,48,000/-, Rs. 3,00,000/- may be released in favour of the petitioner forthwith and remaining FDR to be released in favour of the petitioner as per its date of maturity in terms of order of learned Tribunal.
