                                  JUDGMENT

By way of this appeal, the appellants-claimants have assailed the Award dated 22.07.2016, passed by the Court of learned Motor Accident Claims Tribunal (III), Mandi, District Mandi, H.P. in Claim Petition No. 15/12, titled as Smt. Hemant Sharma and others Vs. Vishal Kumar and another, feeling aggrieved by the amount of compensation, which was granted to them by the learned Tribunal, inter alia, on the ground that the same was on the lower side.

2. When the appeal was taken up for consideration, learned counsel for the parties informed the Court that the issue now stands amicably settled between the parties by way of a compromise, in terms whereof, respondent No. 2, i.e., the Insurance Company in issue, has agreed to pay to the appellants an additional lump sum amount of Rs.

9.50 lacs, over and above the award amount. The Court further stands informed that this offer of the Insurance Company has been duly accepted by the appellants-claimants.

3. Learned counsel for the appellants confirms this in the Court.

Accordingly, this appeal is ordered to be closed by taking the factum of .

compromise having been entered into between the parties and the Insurance Company having agreed to pay to the appellants-claimants an additional lump sum amount of Rs.9.50 lacs in all, over and above the amount of award determined in favour of the claimants by the learned Tribunal.

4. At this stage, learned counsel for the appellants submits that it will be in the interest of justice in case the respondent-Insurance Company is directed to deposit the agreed amount before this Court within some reasonable time. Let the needful be done within a period of eight weeks from today. It is further ordered that after the amount is deposited with the Registry of this Court, the same be released in favour of the claimants as per their respective shares by remitting it in their bank accounts, details whereof shall be furnished by the claimants with the Registry of this Court through learned counsel within two weeks. Appeal stands disposed of in above terms, so also pending miscellaneous applications, if any.
