IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE, ANDHRA PRADESH AT HYDERABAD PRESENT THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE K.C.BHANU C.R.P.No.4491 OF 2010 Date:24.03.2011 Between:- Nama Suryavathi and others ..Petitioners And N.Ramu and others .. Respondents ORDER:- The Civil Revision Petition, under Article 227 of the Constitution of India, is directed against the order dated 03-06-2010 in I.A.No.432 of 2010 in M.V.O.P.No.22 of 2007 on the file of the Chairman, Motor Accident Claims Tribunal-cum-IV Additional District Judge, Kakinada whereunder and whereby, the petition filed under Order VI Rule 17 and Section 151 of the Code of Civil Procedure, 1908 to amend the main petition, was partly allowed. 2. Heard. 3. M.V.O.P.No.22 of 2007 was filed by the petitioners for compensation consequent upon the death of one Nama Adinarayana in a motor accident. In the said M.V.O.P., the amendment petition was filed to amend the main petition: (i) under the head of loss of dependency from Rs.3,20,000/- to Rs.6,20,000/-, (ii) with regard to the total amount of compensation from Rs.5,00,000/- to Rs.8,00,000/- and (iii) the accident vehicle number mentioned in the long cause title . The amendment sought for was partly allowed by the trial Court with regard to the registration number of the crime vehicle and disallowed rest of the amendment in relation to enhancement of compensation. 4. The reason given by the petitioners is that recently, they came to know that the District Collector issued statement for the year 2005-06 with regard to the wages payable to N.M.R.S. employees and basing on the said statement, the dependency of deceased has to be estimated. Mere taking a plea does not amount to proof. That has to be proved like that of any other evidence. Hence, the impugned order insofar as disallowing the other claim for enhancement of compensation in the amendment petition is set aside and the amendment petition filed by the petitioner before the Tribunal is allowed. However, it is made clear that the 3rd respondent-Insurance Company is at liberty to file additional counter for the amended petition. 5. The Civil Revision Petition is allowed accordingly. There shall be no order as to costs. _​_____________________ JUSTICE K.C.BHANU 24th March, 2011 AMD THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE K.C.BHANU C.R.P.No.4491 OF 2010 Date:24.03.2011 AMD
