Case Summary: Oriental Insurance Co. Ltd. v. Alka Sharma (C.A. No. 1589/2001) On 26 February 2001, the Supreme Court granted special leave to appeal and disposed of Oriental Insurance Company's appeal against the Punjab & Haryana High Court's interim order. The High Court had allowed claimants to withdraw Rs. 8 lakhs from Rs. 9.82 lakhs awarded by the Tribunal during appeal pendency. The Supreme Court modified this order, directing the insurance company to deposit the full compensation amount, permitting withdrawal of only Rs. 2 lakhs with the balance deposited in a fixed deposit at a nationalised bank. The High Court was requested to dispose of the underlying appeal within four months. No costs awarded. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
