instructions of his client through Sh. Deepak, Advocate, who is counsel for respondent No.2/Insurance Company.
Since the counsel on behalf of the petitioner has received the amount towards full and final settlement of the claim amount, therefore, no further indulgence is required to be given in this case, particularly in view of the fact that the Permanent Lok Adalat has accepted the claim to the extent of 75% amount of the IDV value of the vehicle.
In my considered opinion, the award of interest in view of full and final settlement cannot be appreciated.
Disposed of.
