Heard.
2.
By this application, the applicants seek to withdraw amount of Rs. 14,61,802/- deposited by the respondent - Insurance Company.
3.
Applicant is the father of the deceased who was 18 years old at the time of the accident. It is submitted that the deceased was an earning member albeit he was a student. It is further submitted that there is a need for the money.
4.
The submissions are repelled by counsel for the respondent. The claim is barred by non-joinder of necessary parties. Deceased himself was negligent. He was not wearing a helmet.
5.
I have gone through the judgment. The contentious issues can be dealt with at the time of hearing of the appeal. The ends of justice would be met in permitting the applicants to receive 70% of the amount deposited with accrued interest. Hence, I pass the following order :

::ORDER::
A) The interim application is allowed partly, permitting the applicants to receive 70% of the amount deposited with accrued interest ZIP
on furnishing an undertaking to the satisfaction of the jurisdictional Tribunal. B) The balance amount shall be invested in a nationalized bank. INTERIM APPLICATION NO. 492 OF 2025 IN FIRST APPEAL (ST) NO. 36976 OF 2024
6. By this application, the applicant seeks to condone delay of 1 year and 210 days in preferring the first appeal belatedly.
7. For the reasons stated in the application, delay is apt to be condoned. Application is not seriously disputed by the respondent.
8. I find no tangible reason to infer any mala fides on the part of the applicant to prefer appeal belatedly. The applicant has deposited the compensation with accrued interest. The application is allowed and delay stands condoned. The interim application is disposed of accordingly. INTERIM APPLICATION NO. 495 OF 2025 IN FIRST APPEAL (ST) NO. 36976 OF 2024
9. As the entire amount under the Award is deposited pursuant to the order passed by this Court, the ad-interim relief granted earlier shall stand confirmed. The interim application is disposed of accordingly. ZIP
