PRAKASH SINGH Vs. DISTRICT JUDGE MIRZAPUR

JUDGEMENT

(1.) THE petitioner has come up with a prayer to command the respondents not to withhold Rs. 89745/- deposited by the Insurance Company in terms of the compromise and to disburse the same to him forthwith with interest on the ground that even though there was no compromise between the parties before the Tribunal that the aforementioned amount shall be deposited in fixed deposit account in any Nationalised Bank, yet the learned Special Judge, Mirzapur has committed an apparent error of law in directing deposit of the said amount in a fixed deposit account for five years in any Nationalised Bank.

(2.) SRI S. K. Lal, learned counsel appearing on behalf of the petitioner, contended that the respondent No. 1 be commanded to direct return of the aforementioned amount along with interest to the petitioner.

(3.) ACCORDINGLY, we dispose of this writ petition with this direction to respondent No 1 that he shall make to withdraw the invested amount in a fixed deposit and pay to the petitioner expeditiously that amount preferably within three months from today.
