Ms. Moajungla, learned counsel for the applicant submits that the inadvertent error has been caused due to miscalculation on the part of the applicant in giving the correct figure of the 50% of the award amount to Rs. 21,10,944/- (rupees twenty one lakhs ten thousand nine hundred forty-four) which in fact as per the total award amount of the 50% is 21,52,944/- (rupees twenty-one lakhs fifty two thousand Nine hundred Forty-four only). The said error was not intentional but, because of the reason stated above and basing on the miscalculation this Hon’ble Court by order dated 17.07.2026 in I.A(C)./156/2026 and order dated 08.09.2026 in I.A. (C)./210/2026 the 50% of the awarded amount was wrongly reflected. 4.

Upon consideration of the submission of the learned counsel for the parties, it would be in the interest of justice that the wrong calculation of the 50% of the awarded amount be read as 21,52,944/- (rupees twenty-one lakhs fifty two thousand Nine hundred Forty-four) instead of Rs. 21,10,944/- (rupees twenty one lakhs ten thousand nine hundred forty-four) and modified accordingly. Page No.# 5/6 6. The application is allowed to the extend as stated above of modification of the awarded amount as 21,52,944/- (rupees twenty- one lakhs fifty two thousand Nine hundred Forty-four) and not Rs. 21,10,944/- (rupees twenty one lakhs ten thousand nine hundred forty-four), in order dated 17.07.2026 in I.A(C)./156/2026 and order dated 08.09.2026, in I.A(C)./210/2026. A copy of this order may be kept on record in I.A(C)./156/2026 and I.A(C)./210/2026. 7. The learned counsel for the applicant further submits that in the event of modification of the order dated 17.07.2026 in I.A(C)./156/2026 and order dated 08.09.2026, in I.A(C)./210/2026, she may be allowed to withdraw the 50% of the award so deposited by the opposite party/insurer in terms of the order dated 08.09.2026 passed in I.A(C)./210/2026. 8.
