KRISHNARAO SHANKARRAO PATIL AND ANR.versusUTTAR PRAESH STATE ROAD CORPORATION

Decided
Disposal
Disposed Off

Holding

The court permitted withdrawal of fifty percent of the deposited amount with interest, subject to an undertaking to refund if the appeal is decided against the applicants.

Summary

The Uttar Pradesh State Road Corporation (appellant) deposited the full decretal amount with interest in the Motor Accident Claim Tribunal, Kalyan, following a civil appeal (FA 1260/2025) against Krishnarao Shankarrao Patil and others (respondents). The respondents, who are dependents of a deceased accident victim, filed Interim Application No. 10981/2025 seeking withdrawal of the deposited sum for personal use. The appellant filed Interim Application No. 9417/2025 requesting a stay of the judgment pending the appeal. The Court examined whether the deposited amount could be withdrawn pending the final decision. It allowed the respondents to withdraw fifty percent of the amount with accrued interest, conditioned on an undertaking to refund if the appeal is decided against them. The application was therefore partly allowed and disposed of.

Issues considered

  • Whether the amount deposited with the Motor Accident Claim Tribunal can be withdrawn pending the outcome of the appeal
  • Whether a stay of the impugned judgment and award is warranted pending the appeal
  • Whether the court may permit partial withdrawal of the deposited amount subject to an undertaking

Subjects

  • interim application
  • deposit of decree amount
  • Motor Accident Claim Tribunal
  • withdrawal of compensation
  • stay of judgment
  • civil appeal
