JUDGMENT

(delivered by K.Rajasekar, J.)

Challenging the judgment and decree dated 06.03.2024 passed in

M.C.O.P.No.302 of 2013 on the file of the Motor Accidents Claims Tribunal,

Subordinate Court at Arani, Thiruvannamalai District, the appellant has

preferred the present civil miscellaneous appeal.

2. It is seen that the seventh respondent herein viz. The New India

Assurance Company Limited has filed C.M.A.No.3547 of 2024 challenging the

aforesaid judgment and decree, in which, the Hon’ble Division Bench of this

Court, by judgment dated 27.03.2025, dismissed the appeal with the following

direction:

“9. Accordingly, the Civil Miscellaneous Appeal filed

by the appellant is dismissed and the appellant is directed to

deposit the award amount determined by the Tribunal, together

with interest at the rate of 7.5% per annum from the date of

petition till the date of deposit (less the default period, if any)

along with interest and costs, if not already deposited, within a

period of four weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this

Judgment. On such deposit, the respondents 1 to 4 are

permitted to withdraw the award amount along with

proportionate interest and costs, less the amount if any, already

withdrawn as per the apportionment fixed by the Tribunal. No

costs. Consequently, the connected miscellaneous petition is

closed.”

3. Since the Hon’ble Division Bench of this Court has confirmed the

award passed by the tribunal by dismissing the connected appeal, we are not

inclined to interfere with the aforesaid judgment and decree passed by the

tribunal.

Ergo, this civil miscellaneous appeal is dismissed. The appellant is

directed to deposit the award amount determined by the tribunal, together with

interest at the rate of 7.5% per annum from the date of petition till the date of

deposit (less the default period, if any) along with interest and costs, if not

already deposited, within a period of four weeks from the date of receipt of a

copy of this Judgment. On such deposit, the respondents 1 to 4 are permitted to

withdraw the award amount along with proportionate interest and costs, less the

amount if any, already withdrawn, as per the apportionment fixed by the

tribunal. No costs. Connected C.M.P. is closed.
