Incidentally, the impugned award in the present appeal was also assailed by other claimants, namely, Smt. Pappi Devi and Shri Ram Kumar in the aforesaid case which stands decided by this Court on 15.9.2008. Obviously, the present appeal is covered by the said decision. In the earlier appeal, the amount of compensation was enhanced from Rs.1,58,400/- to Rs.2,85,600/-. The award passed by the Tribunal was amended to the aforesaid extent. However, while enhancing the amount, no order was passed with regard to the apportionment of the enhanced amount. Mr. Tara Singh Chauhan, learned counsel states that the amount has not been disbursed till date. The other claimants have chosen not to appear in the present proceedings. Accordingly, it is directed that the share of Smt. Kala Devi with regard to the enhanced amount shall be apportioned in the manner in which the claim was determined and apportioned by the Tribunal. Ordered accordingly. The appeal is disposed of. ( Sanjay Karol ), Judge. August 31, 2009 (rana)
