2.

On his application, stand over to 24/01/2023.

CIVIL APPLICATION NO.2920 OF 20 Heard.

2.

Present application is preferred by respondent No.1 - original claimant for seeking permission to withdraw the amount of compensation deposited by the appellant before this Court. While preferring an appeal, the appellant has deposited 50% of decretal amount as under :

Rs.11,47,457/- vide CCD No.29873, dated 15/09/2022 Rs.25,000/-, vide CCD No.29667, dated 08/07/2022 Thus, total amount of Rs.11,72,457/- is lying in this Court.

3.

It is contended that respondent No.1 has suffered 80% permanent disability as his right leg is amputed above the knee and is unable to earn his livelihood. He requires the amount for any standing businees for his livelihood as well as he has obtained hand loan for his treatment. It is further contended that at present respondent No.1 is depending upon the other family members due to his disability. 4.

Learned Counsel for the appellant strongly objected the application on the ground that the Insurance Company has taken the statutory defences and the Insurance Company has every chance of success in the present appeal.

5.

If the entire amount is withdrawn by respondent No.1, it would be difficult for the Insurance Company to recover the same.

6.

Heard both the sides. Perused the record.

7.

Considering the reasons mentioned in the application, 50% amount from the deposited amount can be disbursed to respondent No.1.

8.
