Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court held that the claimant-respondents are entitled to withdraw the amounts deposited in this Court and the M.A.C.T., Gonda, as well as the statutory deposit made before the High Court. The Court clarified that while the claimants can access these funds, the Insurance Company retains the right to recover the deposited amount from the vehicle owner. The appeal was disposed of with these directions, affirming the procedural rights of the claimants while safeguarding the Insurance Company's interests.
