ABDUL REHIM, JJ. -------------------------------------------- M.A.C.A. No. 573 OF 2004 -------------------------------------------- Dated this the 15th day of January, 2009 JUDGMENT Ramachandran Nair,J. We have heard counsel appearing for the appellant and standing counsel appearing for the insurance company. After hearing counsel appearing for both sides, and after going through the award, we find that even though compensation granted under various heads are quite reasonable, one mistake is committed by the MACT in adopting the multiplier as 15 as against 17 applicable to the claimant. This correction will entitle the appellant for additional compensation of Rs. 4800/-. We grant this amount with interest at 7.5 per cent per annum from the date of application till date of payment. Appeal stands allowed as above. (C.N.RAMACHANDRAN NAIR) Judge. (C.K. ABDUL REHIM) Judge. kk 2
