The Court condoned the delay in filing and directed the petitioner-insurance company to deposit Rs. 74,11,000/- with accrued interest within six weeks before the Additional Motor Accident Claims Tribunal (failing which the stay would be automatically vacated), allowing subsequent disbursal to claimants as per the Tribunal's award. The balance compensation is to be invested in a nationalized bank pending final disposal of the SLP. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
