(Oral) The Insurance Company of the bus is in appeal challenging the award of compensation made by the Tribunal on a finding that the bus driver was responsible for the accident. The contention of the claimants was that the truck was responsible for the accident, but the Tribunal found that the bus driver was responsible. Having found thus, the Tribunal proceeded to award compensation as a workman under Workmen's Compensation Act. The deceased was 20 years of age and taking the income of Rs.1,000/-, adopted a factor of 224 as provided in Schedule-IV and determined the compensation of Rs.89,600/-. The FAO No.1581 of 1993 - 2 - award is modest and conforms to law. There is no merit at all in the appeal. The appeal is dismissed. (K.KANNAN) JUDGE 15.09.2010 sanjeev
