OIC Ltd. vs. Rupta Devi & Ors. FAO(MVA) No.129 of 2026 17.08.2026 Present: Mr. Sambhav Bhasin, Advocate, for the appellant. Ms. Heena Chauhan, Advocate, for respondents No.1 to 3. Ms. Himani Verma, Advocate, for respondent No.4. Ms. Supriya Chaudhary, Advocate, for respondent No.5. Mr. Virender Singh Kanwar, Advocate vice Mr. Sanjay Prashar, Advocate, for respondent No.6. CMP No.18533 of 2026 The present application under Section 151 of CPC, has been filed by the applicants/respondents No.1 to 3, namely, Rupta Devi, Rajiv Pal and Parvati, for release of awarded amount in their favour, as per their shares, as lying deposited in the Registry of this Court. The application is duly supported with affidavits of all the applicants. As per the applicants, they are in dire need of money and as the main appeal is pending adjudication before this Court, which may take some time for its disposal, their prayer for release of amount of compensation, as lying deposited in the Registry of this Court, may be accepted and the amount, as prayed for, may be ordered to be released in their favour. Reply to the application stands filed. However, learned counsel for the non-applicant/appellant has opposed the application on the ground that if the amount, as prayed, is released in favour of the aforesaid applicants/respondents, it would be difficult for it to recover the same in the event of appeal being allowed, which would result into the multiplicity of litigation between the parties. Hence, prayer for dismissal of the application has been made. 4. Heard. Having perused the averments made in the application, which are duly supported with the affidavits of aforesaid applicants/respondents and also in view of the fact that the appeal may take sufficiently long time for its final adjudication, this Court finds it in the interest of justice to release 30% each of the awarded amount of compensation in favour of applicants/respondents No.1 to 3, namely, Rupta Devi, Rajiv Pal and Parvati alongwith up- to-date interest, as per their respective shares after proper verification and identification by remitting the same to their saving bank accounts, details whereof have been given in Para-6 of the application. Needless to say that the release of amount will be subject to the final outcome of the appeal and in the event of appeal being allowed, aforesaid applicants/respondents, will have to refund the amount, so released in their favour, with interest. Application stands disposed of. FAO(MVA) No.129 of 2026 Learned counsel for respondent No.5, prays for and is granted two weeks’ time to procure fresh Power of Attorney on behalf of aforesaid respondent as Mr. Vikrant Thakur, Advocate, has now been designated as Senior Advocate. List thereafter. ( Sushil Kukreja ) Judge August 17, 2026 (reena)
