Mr. Rajan Kahol & Mr. Vishal Panwar, Additional Advocate Generals with Mr. Ravi Chauhan & Mr. Anish Banshtu, Deputy Advocates General, for the respondent-State.
By way of instant application, prayer has been made on behalf of the applicant/respondent/complainant for release of compensation amount lying deposited in the Registry of this Court as well as learned trial Court.
It is averred in the application that parties have entered into the compromise, whereby non-applicant/petitioner has agreed to pay the entire amount of compensation as awarded by learned Court below to the applicant/respondent.
Record reveals that Cr. Revision No.251 of 2023 filed by the non-applicant/petitioner was listed before the National Lok Adalat, which on 13.09.2025 taking note of the statement made by both the parties, allowed the criminal revision and set aside the judgment of conviction and order of sentence recorded by court below. While doing so, it also ordered that amount deposited by the non-applicant/petitioner
in the Registry of this Court as well as trial Court be released in favour of the applicant/respondent/complainant.
Mr. Ashok Kumar, learned counsel representing the non-applicant/petitioner fairly acknowledges the factum with regard to compromise and states that he has no objection in case the amount deposited with the Registry of this Court as well as trial Court is ordered to be released in favour of the applicant/respondent/complainant.
In view of the above, present application is allowed and the amount lying deposited with the Registry of this Court as well as learned trial Court in afore case is ordered to be released in favour of the applicant/respondent/complainant, by remitting the same in his saving bank account, details whereof are given in para 5 of the application, subject to verification by the Accounts branch. The application stands disposed of.
