It is, therefore, open for the applicant to take out appropriate proceedings as are permissible in law to establish her rights over the compensation amount. 2. Interim Application No.3585 of 2023 filed seeking leave to file appeal against the Award passed in favour of the respondent (widow) need not be entertained. Hence, the same stands rejected. 1 ATUL GANESH KULKARNI Digitally signed by ATUL GANESH KULKARNI Date: 2026.09.22 17:23:39 +0530 43-ia3585-2023 & connected.doc 3.
