Mool Chand and others .....Respondents Present: Mr. Ashwani Talwar, Advocate for the appellant. None for the respondents. CORAM:HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE K. KANNAN 1. Whether Reporters of local papers may be allowed to see the judgment ? 2. To be referred to the Reporters or not ? 3. Whether the judgment should be reported in the Digest? -.- K. KANNAN J.(ORAL) 1. The appeal is by the insurance company on the ground that in the case of death of daughter of the claimants, the Tribunal has adopted a wrong multiplier. It is further contended that the deceased was a pillion rider and there was no policy cover. I have seen through the terms of the policy, which is a package policy, that payment of premium included risk for a pillion rider as well. Therefore, the liability of the insurance company cannot be doubted. The averment in the petition, which was accepted by the Tribunal was that the deceased was earning Rs.3300/- per month. The Tribunal has taken a 1/3rd deduction and adopted a multiplier suitable to the age of the deceased in terms of what is contained in Schedule II. There is no error in the error of calculation or in the assessment of compensation. FAO No.6 of 2011 (O&M) -2- 2. There is no scope for interference with the award. The award is confirmed and the appeal is dismissed. (K. KANNAN) JUDGE February 25, 2011 Pankaj*
