In this miscellaneous first appeal, the High Court Lok Adalat facilitated a settlement between the claimant and the insurance company. The matter was resolved via a joint memo agreeing to enhanced compensation and depositing the amount before the Tribunal.
A lump sum of Rs. 1,40,000/- agreed to be deposited with the Tribunal to fully settle the claim.
