Judgment:
1 W.P.No.11636/2013 W.P.No.11636/2013 28.01.2014 Ms.Aparna Singh, learned counsel for petitioner.
Heard on admission.
Petitioner, vide this petition, under Article 227 of the Constitution of India, calls in question the correctness of order dated 15.05.2013 passed by Additional Member Motor Accident Claims Tribunal, Katni rejecting the application preferred by the petitioner/claimant for distribution amongst the claimants of the amount of Rs.2,33,988/- being the remainder in the form of interest over Rs.6,81,595/- being amount awarded in Motor Accident claim case No.445/2011.
The application has been rejected on the ground that the amount which has been fixed, includes the said amount i.e.Rs.2,33,988/- which has been awarded, distributed amongst the claimants and deposited in the fixed deposit is in accordance with the award.
The petitioner challenges the order on the ground that material irregularity is committed as the claims Tribunal has overlooked paragraph 35(4) of the award; wherein, it is categorically stated that the remainder over Rs.6,81,595/- is to be distributed amongst the claimants in accordance with their share.
The relevant paragraph of the award dated 08.11.2012 passed in motor accident claim case No.445/2011 is in the following terms : 2 W.P.No.11636/2013 **¼4½ eks-nq-nk-iz-d- 445@11 esa {kfriwfrZ jkf'k :i;s 6].81].595@^ ¼N% yk[k bD;klh gtkj ikap lkS iapkuos :-½ esa ls vkosfndk Jherh lqfe=kckbZ ds uke ls ipgRrj gtkj :- ,oa vkosfndk Jherh csch ckbZ ds uke ls Ms<+ yk[k :i;s fdlh jk"Vz~h;d`r cSad esa 5 o"kZ dh vof/kds fy;s tek gks 'ks"k vkosfndkx.k dq- ekyrh ckbZ].dq- y{ehckbZ].dq-iwtkckbZ].dq- euh"kk ckbZ ,oa dq- pkanuh ckbZ ds uke ls dze'k% ipgRrj&ipgRrj gtkj :- fdlh jk"Vz~h;d`r cSad muds ckfyx gksus dh vof/k rd ds fy;s tek gks rFkk cSad dks ;g funsZ'k fn;k tkos fd fu/kkZfjr vof/k ds i'pkr gh U;k;ky; dh vuqefr ds fcuk tek /ku jkf'k Hkqxrku u dh tkos rFkk tek /kujkf'k ij fdlh izdkj dh dksbZ tekur ,oa _.k Lohdkj u fd;k tkosA 'ks"k jkf'k vkosfndkx.k dks lekuqikr esa uxn Hkqxrku dh tkosA** (emphasis supplied) In view whereof, while setting aside the impugned order dated 15.05.2013, the matter is remitted to the Additional Member Motor Accident Claims Tribunal, Katni for reconsideration of the application preferred by the petitioner/claimant and dwell upon the same strictly in accordance with paragraph 35(4) of the award.
