Tulsi Bai v. Trilok Kumar Bharti
Case brief
What is this about?
Chhattisgarh High Court (Bilaspur), MAC No. 1777 of 2019, decided 17.04.2026 by Justice Sanjay K. Agrawal (Single Bench): motor accident claim appeal disposed of on compromise/settlement rather than adjudication. Driver-respondent Trilok Kumar Bharti undertook to pay claimants-appellants Rs. 3,00,000/- in two installments (Rs. 50,000/- forthwith; Rs. 2,50,000/- within two months). Default clause preserves claimants' right to revive the appeal via application for recall of the order. Counsel: Ishwar Jaiswal for appellants; Chandra Bhushan Kesharwani for respondent. No statutory provision or precedent engaged.
What did the court decide?
Appeal disposed of finally on amicable settlement: the respondent vehicle driver is to pay Rs. 3,00,000/- (Three Lakhs) to the claimants/appellants, first installment of Rs. 50,000/- on the date of the order and the balance of Rs. 2,50,000/- within two months; on default in payment, the claimants may revive the appeal by filing an application for recalling of the order.
