CORAM: G.S. PATEL, J DATED:

13th June 2017 PC:- 1.

The delay of 96 days in filing the First Appeal is condoned. 2.

The Appellant is the insurer. The Appeal is directed against an order of Motor Accident Claims Tribunal ("MACT"), Pune in a fatal accident case. An amount of Rs.27,70,000/- is awarded by the order and judgment dated 1st April 2016.

13th June 2017

The impugned order and judgment is stayed subject to the Appellant depositing the entire amount with accrued interest with the MACT on or before 4th July 2017. In default, the stay will cease to operate and execution will proceed.

In my view this is a fit case to be placed before the Lok Adalat to be held on 8th July 2017. Both sides will take instructions on a possible settlement. Mr Jimsiwale agrees to serve the Respondents privately before the date of the Lok Adalat, 8th July 2017. 5.
