Mohammad Jalil vs Lalmani Devi & Ors

The Supreme Court set aside the High Court's order requiring the appellant to deposit the entire awarded amount of Rs. 2,90,800/- along with interest, holding that the liability for compensation depends on the determination of the vehicle's involvement in the accident. The Court directed that the amount already deposited by the appellant be invested in a fixed deposit account, with interest accruing for the benefit of the successful party. The Court also urged the High Court to expedite the hearing of the appeal.
