Appellants Versus Anil Kumar and others ........Respondents CORAM: HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE K. KANNAN Present:- Mr. Hitesh Malik , Advocate for the appellant. **** 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 for enhancement of compensation for death of a male aged 50 years. She was a JBT Teacher and the claimants were husband and three children. While assessing the compensation, the Tribunal had provided for `14,65,000/- as compensation. Medical expenses for `7,62,000/-as claimed and assessed compensation for loss of dependency at `6,93,000/- taking the income at `5234/-. The Tribunal made a deduction of 1/3rd and after assessing the loss of dependency at `63,000/- adopted a multiplier of 11 and determined `6,93,000/- as loss of dependency added `10,000/- towards funeral expenses and granted a compensation of `14,65,000/- including the medical expenses. I find that the assessment is fair and just and FAO No. 6131 of 2010 2 addresses every issue that is necessary for consideration. It confirms to the claim of compensation as suggested by Hon'ble Supreme Court in Sarla Verma Vs.Delhi Road Transport Corporation reported in (2009) 6 SC 121. 2. The award is confirmed and the appeal is dismissed. (K. KANNAN) JUDGE February 28, 2011 archana
