A-50 % 26.08.2011 Present: Mr. Santosh Kumar, Advocate for the appellant. +CM No. 15865/2011(exemption) in MAC APPEAL No. 760/2011 * Exemption allowed subject to just exceptions. MAC APPEAL No. 760/2011 The appeal has impugned the Award dated 05.03.2011 vide which compensation in the sum of Rs. 5,75,000/- alongwith interest at the rate of 7.5% p.a. had been awarded in favour of the claimant. The claimant was the husband of the deceased Manju Pandey; Manju Pandey had succumbed to her injury in an accident which had occurred on 09.10.2009. The grievance of the appellant before this court is that the Tribunal has taken the notional income of the deceased at Rs. 3,000/- per month by following the ratio of the judgment of the Apex Court in Lata Wadhwa vs. State of Bihar reported in 2001 (4) RCR (Civil) 673; she was a working woman; this point has not been considered. Record shows that there was no documentary evidence to support the submission of the claimant that his wife was working; this had been noted in para 13 of the impugned Award. The only statement made by PWl who was the sole witness (husband of the deceased) was that his wife was working in a factory and was earning Rs. 7,000/- per month. There was no record to substantiate Digitally Signed By:AMULYA Certify that the digital file and physical file have been compared and the digital data is as per the physical file and no page is missing. Signature Not Verified X this and in these circumstances, court had rightly rehed upon the ratio of T.ata Wadhwa (supra) to hold that the services of the deceased as a house wife will be computed at Rs. 3,000/- per month. Award on this count suffers from no infirmity. Learned counsel for the appellant has not challenged the Award on any other ground. Appeal is dismissed in limine. INDERMEET KAUR, J. AUGUST 26, 2011 rb
