CORAM:HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE K. KANNAN 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 claim for compensation for death of a livestock of 10 sheeps and 2 goats. The Tribunal assessed the value of the goods lost at Rs.60,000/- and made an addition of Rs.5,000/- for transportation and granted a total compensation of Rs.65,000/-. Learned counsel for the appellant states that no provision had been made for loss of income through the goats. There is adequate case law on the subject (state case law) that an income from the livestock cannot be a subject of assessment of compensation by a Tribunal. The compensation can be only for the value of damage to the goods and not the resultant loss of what a person could have obtained by use of such goods. The Tribunal will have no such jurisdiction to entertain that portion of the claim. FAO No.6197 of 2010 (O&M) -2- 2. The award is just and adequate and there is no scope for interference. 3. The award is confirmed and the appeal is dismissed. (K. KANNAN) JUDGE February 28, 2011 Pankaj*
