ORDER

The Text below is only a summarized version of the order pronounced

The impugned interim order of the Punjab and Haryana High Court refusing to grant stay while the
appeal filed by the insurer was pending before it, is modified in view of the stand taken by the
insurer that the insurer will not be liable at all and taking into consideration the statutory provision
which provides that Rs. 25, 000 is payable for no fault liability. The appellant is directed to pay to
the claimants a sum of Rs. 25, 000 within four weeks and accordingly the appeal is allowed.
