 This appeal under Section 173 of the Motor Vehicles Act, 1988 is filed by the insurance company challenging the award of the Motor Accident Claims Tribunal dated 14.01.1998 awarding compensation to the tune Rs.1,50,000/6 to the respondent6claimant along with interest at the rate of 12% per annum on account of death of the husband of the claimant6 respondent in the road accident.

Record indicates that vide order dated 14.10.2015 the appeal was dismissed against the first respondent and fresh notices were issued to respondents No.2 and 3. However, since the appellant failed to take steps, it was dismissed against respondents No.2 and 3 as well vide order dated 18.11.2015.

Once the appeal was dismissed against all the three respondents, we find no justification to continue this appeal on board any further and the same ought to have been consigned to records. RAVINDER SHARMA 2019.02.21 11:13 I attest to the accuracy and integrity of this document

  

   ()* Since the appeal has already been dismissed against the respondents vide orders dated 14.10.2015 and 18.11.2015 respectively, the same stands consigned to record room.

In terms of the order dated 13.07.1998 passed by this Court, 50% of the compensation awarded by the Tribunal was ordered to be released to the claimants whereas balance 50% was required to be kept in a nationalized bank, though the claimants were held entitled to the interest thereupon. Needless to assert that as the appeal stands dismissed, the said amount shall also be released to the claimants without any further delay.
