Laxmaiah & 3 others … RESPONDENTS This Court made the following: HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE SAMUDRALA GOVINDARAJULU M.A.C.M.A. No.4066 OF 2008 JUDGMENT: Having regard to the judgment passed by this Court in M.A.C.M.A.No.2811 of 2007 today, which matter relates to the same accident as in this case, I do not find any reasons to come to a different conclusion from that of the lower Tribunal with regard to the negligence on the part of R.T.C. driver of bus bearing No.AP 10Z 7780 as the person responsible for this accident. I find that there are no circumstances much less evidence to hold that there was contributory negligence on the part of the deceased for this accident. 2. Insofar as quantum of compensation is concerned, the lower Tribunal on calculation came to the conclusion that compensation payable is Rs.3,60,000/-, but limited the compensation amount to Rs.3,00,000/- having regard to the claim made by the claimants for only Rs.3,00,000/-. The lower Tribunal calculated the compensation amount taking notional income of the deceased as Rs.3,000/- per month. On perusal of the award passed by the lower Tribunal, I am of the opinion that calculation made by the lower Tribunal in determining the compensation, is appropriate and legal. There are no merits in this appeal. 3. In the result, the appeal is dismissed with costs. ______________________________ SAMUDRALA GOVINDARAJULU, J November 15, 2010 KL HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE SAMUDRALA GOVINDARAJULU M.A.C.M.A. No.4066 OF 2008 November 15, 2010 KL
