JUDGMENT
When this matter was called today, the learned counsel for
the parties were ad idem that the disputes between their clients
have been settled through an out-of-Court settlement and that the
Insurance Company has agreed to pay an amount of Rs.6,00,000/-,
inclusive of interest, over and above the amounts already allowed
by the Tribunal. It is also conceded before me that the Insurance
Company has offered to make the payment within a period of two
months from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment.
Resultantly, I allow this appeal, modifying the impugned
Award; thus enhancing the compensation by a further amount of
Rs.6,00,000/-, inclusive of interest; and directing the Insurance
Company, as per their consent, to deposit the same before the
learned Tribunal, within a period of two months from the date of
receipt of a copy of this judgment; failing which, said amount will
carry interest at the rate fixed by the Tribunal in the impugned
order from the date of the judgment until realization. M.A.C.A.No.1844 of 2009
Needless to say, the claimants will have full liberty to receive
all the deposited amounts; or to recover it - as the case may be -
without any impediment.
