Summary
The Oriental Insurance Co. Ltd. filed an appeal (First Appeal No. 326 of 2016) against Ganpat Haribhau Jadhav & Ors. The appellant sought leave of the court to withdraw the appeal. The High Court granted the leave, ordered that the statutory deposit of Rs.25,000 be transferred to the concerned Motor Accident Claims Tribunal (MACT) with interest, and allowed the insurance company to withdraw the amount with interest. Consequently, the appeal was disposed of as withdrawn and the accompanying civil application was also dismissed. The court directed a 100% refund of court fees, deviating from the standard fee rules.
Issues considered
- Whether the court may grant leave to withdraw an appeal pending before it
- What is the effect of withdrawal on the statutory deposit made in the case
