¶2When the matter is taken up today, there is no representation for the fourth respondent.

¶3Heard the learned counsel appearing for the petitioner and the learned counsel appearing for the respondents 1 to 3.

¶4It is seen from the records that this Court passed an order dated 17.02.2026 directing the petitioner to deposit 75% of the award amount along with proportionate accrued interest and costs to the credit of M.C.O.P.No.37 of 2019 on the file of the Motor Accident Claims Tribunal / Additional District Court, Pudukkottai, within a period of four weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of that order, failing which, interim stay granted shall stand vacated automatically, without any further reference to this Court.
