2. By way of this interlocutory application, the applicant/claimant has prayed for release of 50% of the awarded amount deposited before the Registry of this Court.
3. It appears that this Court, while admitting the connected appeal by order dated 13.02.2026 and while considering I.A.(Civil) No. 4110/2025 filed for stay of the impugned judgment and award dated 30.05.2025 passed in MAC Case No. 2327/2021, was pleased to stay the operation of the impugned judgment and award, subject to the condition that the appellant- insurance company deposit 50% of the awarded amount before the Registry of this Court within a period of 6 (six) weeks from the date of the said order.

5. Ms. P. Borthakur, learned counsel appearing for the respondent/appellant, submits that she has no objection to the release of the aforesaid deposited amount lying with the Registry of this Court.
6. Having heard the learned counsel for the parties and upon perusal of the materials available on record, this Court is of the considered view that the prayer made in the present interlocutory application deserves to be allowed.
