A joint memo duly signed by the learned counsel for the appellants/claimants No.1 to 5 (being authorized by the appellant No.1/claimant No.1 to sign) and by the Authorized Officer of Respondent No.1, on behalf of Respondent No.1 and its advocate, is filed before the Lok-Adalath. 3. The appellants/claimants have agreed to receive and the respondent No.1/Insurance Company has agreed to pay a lump- sum of Rs.7,50,000/- (Rupees Seven Lakhs Fifty thousand only), in addition to what has been awarded by the Tribunal, in full and final settlement of the claim. 4 4. Respondent No.1-Insurance Company has agreed to deposit the said amount before the Tribunal within six weeks from the date of preparation of award, failing which the said amount shall carry interest at the rate of 9% p.a. from the date of default, till the date of deposit. 5. Out of enhanced compensation amount, an amount of 40% thereof i.e., Rs.3,00,000/- (Rupees Three Lakhs only) shall be released in favour of the appellant No.1-Mother/Natural Guardian, after proper identification by her counsel and upon she submitting proper documentation, as deem fit to the Tribunal.

Though we are aware of the orders of the Tribunal permitting to deposit the amount in the name of the minors till the age of 25 years, we are constrained to restrict the same, to the age of their majority. 5 6.
