Authority: High Court of Orissa at Cuttack

Order Date: 10 July 2026

Case Overview

  • Parties: The Legal Manager, Shriram General Insurance Co. Ltd. (Appellant) vs Smt. Bularani Singh and others (Respondents).
  • Appeal (MACA No.601 of 2023) concerned the requirement to make a statutory deposit; an earlier order dated 02‑July‑2024 had directed deposit.
  • Counsel G.P. Dutta informed the Court that the statutory deposit was made on 06‑July‑2026, delay caused by wrong delivery of a stale cheque for revalidation.

Court Observations and Directions

  • The Court noted the deposit has been made and therefore recalled the order dated 02‑July‑2024.
  • The order is modified to accept the statutory deposit made on 06‑July‑2026, which may be invested suitably by the Registry.
  • The stale cheque filed on 01‑Sep‑2025 shall be returned to the Appellant’s counsel.
  • The interim application (I.A. No.2384 of 2025) is disposed of, and the appeal is restored to its original number.

Final Outcome

  • Statutory deposit accepted; earlier order rescinded; procedural matters concluded.
