1/2 S.B.CIVIL MISC. APPEAL NO. 731/2009 (National Insurance Co. vs. Sohan Lal Sharma & Ors.) DATE OF ORDER : 15/7/2009 HON'BLE DR.JUSTICE VINEET KOTHARI Mr.Sanjeev Johari, for the appellant. Mr.Ravi Bhansali, for the respondent. Learned counsel for the appellant submits that connected appeal no. 693/2009 arising out of the same accident has already been dismissed by this Court on 29/6/2009. He further submits that in the present case since employer of the deceased had not appeared before the learned Tribunal to prove the income of the workman, therefore, the income determined by the learned Tribunal and compensation of Rs.4,50,000/- under the head of loss of income is excessive and compensation deserves to be reduced. Learned counsel for the claimants, however, opposed this submission and said that compensation of Rs.5,05,000/- in total for the death of a young workman of 21 years awarded by the learned Tribunal cannot be said to be excessive or unfair in any way. Having heard learned counsels, this Court is of the opinion that learned Tribunal has discussed the entire relevant evidence before it. The deceased was doing the work of grading in the textile industry and his income was determined at Rs.5000/- p.m., out of this after 2/2 deducting Rs.2000/- for his personal expenses, the Tribunal has computed the loss on the income at Rs.2500/- p.m. only. The death in the present case took place on 1.2.2006 and at that point of time income of Rs.2500/- for a person doing the work of grading in textile industry cannot be said to be excessive in any manner and, therefore, no interference is called for in the impugned award of learned Tribunal. According, this appeal is found to be devoid of merit and same is hereby dismissed. (DR.VINEET KOTHARI), J. item no.101 baweja/-
