The question that has come up for consideration is whether the amount awarded by the Tribunal is just and proper. The appellants claimed Rs.4,50,000/- as compensation. Tribunal awarded Rs.3,22,000/-. Tribunal awarded Rs.6,000/- towards funeral and transportation expenses, Rs.1,76,000/- towards loss of dependency, Rs.25,000/- towards compensation for pain and suffering and Rs.15,000/- towards compensation for loss of consortium to the second petitioner. Considering the entire facts and circumstances of the case, we are of the view that the award passed by the Tribunal is just and proper. We are not inclined to interfere with the award passed by the Tribunal. This appeal is therefore dismissed. K.S.RADHAKRISHNAN, JUDGE A.K.BASHEER, JUDGE jes
