BEFORE HONOURABLE MRS. JUSTICE YARENJUNGLA LONGKUMER
ORDER 14/09/2026 The instant application has been filed by the claimant/respondent in MAC Appeal No.424/2023 praying for withdrawal of the amount of Rs. 2,41,031/- deposited by the Appellant in Insurance Company in compliance with the order dated 01.12.2023 passed by this Court in I.A(C) No. 3471/2023 arising out of MAC Appeal No. 424/2023.
2. Heard learned counsel for the applicant, Mr. A.R. Agarwala. Also heard
learned counsel, Ms. S.P. Sharma appearing for the Oriental Insurance Company/Appellants who had objected to the instant application on the ground that it is the owner of the offending vehicle who is liable to pay the compensation and not the Insurance Company and therefore, the MAC Appeal No. 424/2023 has also been preferred on the said ground.
3. The Court has considered the submission of the learned counsel for the parties and is of the view that this application may be allowed with the condition that the applicant/claimant should execute a bond of like amount.
4. The applicant is allowed and disposed of.
5. The Registry is directed to allow the applicant/claimant to withdraw the amount of Rs. 2,41,031/-, which is lying before the Registry of this Court upon proper identification and upon execution of an indemnity bond of like amount.
6. Application dismissed.
