Claimants are the appellants. Accident and insurance coverage are not disputed. The only question is whether the amount of compensation awarded by the Tribunal is just and proper. Deceased was aged 58 years at the time of accident. Claimants are the wife and children. An amount of Rs. 4,38,500/- was claimed for loss of estate and dependency. Tribunal took the monthly income as Rs. 2500/- and granted an amount of Rs. 2,00,000/- for loss of estate and dependency. On all other heads, reasonable amount was granted. In such circumstances, we find no reason to entertain the appeal. Appeal is dismissed. K.S.RADHAKRISHNAN JUDGE T.R.RAMACHANDRAN NAIR JUDGE sv.
