The appellant/Insurance Company is represented. The claimants/respondents are present. It has been submitted that the parties have agreed to a total settlement amount of Rs. 12,75,000/- as a full and final settlement of all claims against the impugned Judgment and Order dated 01.12.2025 in MAC Case No. 766/2020, passed by the Learned Member, MACT No. 1, Kamrup(M). As agreed to by the other remaining claimants, the settlement amount shall be paid to respondent No. 1. Accordingly, the matter is settled on compromise in terms of the pre- settlement/compromise slip for the National Lok Adalat, which is made a part of the record.
Both parties shall affix their signatures to the pre-settlement compromise slip as a token of acceptance of the settlement. Accordingly, the National Insurance Co. Ltd. shall deposit the settlement amount of Rs. 12,75,000/- before the Registry of this Court within a period of 45 days from the date of this settlement order, failing which the amount shall carry interest at the rate of 9% per annum until the date of deposit. The Registry shall disburse the amount to respondent No. 1 upon proper verification and as per procedure. Upon furnishing proof of the deposit of the entire settlement amount, the Registry shall release the statutory deposit made by the appellant, if any. The matter is disposed of in this Lok Adalat.
