VIMAL KUMAR vs NATIONAL INSURANCE CO. LTD.

The Supreme Court modified the High Court's order regarding the compensation awarded to the claimant who suffered 80% permanent disability due to an accident. The Court directed the Insurance Company to deposit 50% of the awarded amount of Rs.7,74,800 along with interest, allowing the claimant to withdraw this amount without furnishing surety. The remaining 50% of the amount was stayed pending the appeal before the High Court, thereby ensuring the claimant's immediate access to part of the compensation.
