Singh, Advocate ----- Oral Order 05 / Dated : 05.12.2025 The instant civil miscellaneous petition has been filed by the claimants for release of the statutory amount of Rs. 25,000/- deposited by the Appellant New India Assurance Company Limited in M.A. No. 120 of 2004, on the ground that they have not received any compensation amount even after dismissal of the appeal against the Judgment and award of compensation. Even if it is assumed that no payment has been made, it is for the petitioners to move the learned Tribunal for release of the compensation amount, as the Misc. Appeal, preferred by the Insurance Company against the judgment of award of compensation, was dismissed. It is only the Insurance Company which can claim release of the statutory amount deposited at the time of filing of the appeal, and not the claimants. This civil miscellaneous petition stands dismissed. Pending, I.A. if any, stands disposed of. (Gautam Kumar Choudhary, J.) AKT/Satyendra Uploaded on 08.12.2025
