                                                      Vs.

                                     United India Insurance Co.Ltd.

                                           C.A.No.5039 of 2008

                                     (S.B. Sinha and Aftab Alam JJ.)

                                                  11.08.2008

                                                  ORDER

1. Leave granted.

2. Having heard the learned counsel for the parties, we are of the opinion that keeping in
view the fact that the Insurance Company has already deposited the entire amount awarded
and had initiated a separate proceeding for recovery thereof from the owner of the vehicle, it
was not necessary for the High Court to direct the appellant also to deposit the awarded
amount. The impugned order is, therefore, set aside.

3. However, the recovery proceedings initiated by the Insurance Company against the owner
of the vehicle shall continue.

4. We request the High Court to consider the desirability of disposing of the appeal preferred
by the appellant as expeditiously as possible, preferably within a period of six months from
the date of receipt of a copy of this order.

5. The appeal is disposed of on the above terms.
