Respondents WITH WRIT PETITION NO. 4551 OF 2010 Rukminbai w/o Dhondiba Mane .. Petitioner VERSUS Nikata d/o Chandrakant Mane and ors. .. Respondents ... Mr. G.G. Suryawanshi, Advocate for the Petitioner ... CORAM : V.R. KINGAONKAR, J. DATED : 16TH JULY, 2010 ORAL ORDER:- 1. Heard counsel. 2. The petitioner claims to be paternal grandmother of the respondent no. 1 to 3. The respondent no. 1 and 2 are the minor daughters of deceased Chandrakant and Lata. Since both the parents died during course of vehicular accident, respondent no.1 to 3 filed Claim Petition under (2) WP. 48862010 section 166 of the Motor Vehicle Act, 1988, through their maternal grandmother by name Vatsalabai and maternal aunt by name Bhagyashree. The petitioner sought impleadment on the ground that she also is entitled to claim compensation being dependent of the deceased. That application (Exh.29) filed in M.A.C.P. 37 of 2009 has been rejected by the Tribunal. 3. The petitioners did not adduce any prima facie evidence to show that they are entitled to claim compensation being dependent of the deceased. Therefore, rejection of their application is quite proper and legal. Learned Advocate for the petitioner would submit that the petitioner has filed separate Claim Petition M.A.C.P. no. 12 of 2010. The Tribunal may consider request for common hearing of both the Petitions, if it is so made. No interference is warranted. Both Petitions dismissed. Sd/- [V.R. KINGAONKAR, J.] arp
