Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court set aside the High Court's order requiring the appellant to deposit the entire awarded amount of Rs. 2,90,800/- with interest, holding that the question of liability for compensation depends on whether the vehicle was involved in the accident. The Court directed that the appellant's previously deposited amount 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 appeal's resolution.
