THE HON'BLE MR JUSTICE K.C.BHANU C.M.A.No.340 of 2010 JUDGMENT This appeal is directed against the order, dated 11-04-2007, in O.A.A.No.3 of 2001, passed by the Railway Claims Tribunal, Secunderabad Bench, Secunderabad, whereunder and whereby the said O.A.A. filed by the appellants/applicants claiming compensation of Rs.4,00,000/- for the death of their son in a railway accident was dismissed on the ground that the appellants have not produced the Legal Heir Certificate issued by the competent authority. There cannot be any dispute that for claiming compensation under the Railways Act, 1989 all the legal heirs should be impleaded as parties. If the applicants are entitled to compensation, the compensation has to be apportioned among the legal heirs. In the instant case, the applicants have not produced the Legal Heir Certificate. Therefore, it is a fit case, where the case can be remanded to the Tribunal so as to enable the applicants to produce the Legal Heir Certificate. Hence, the appeal is allowed setting aside the impugned order and the matter is remitted to the Tribunal with a liberty to the applicants to produce the Legal Heir Certificate and adduce evidence, if any, within two months from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. Thereafter, the Tribunal shall pass orders in accordance with law, after giving reasonable opportunity to the Railway Administration to adduce their evidence if any. There shall be no order as to costs. ___________ 20-08-2011 Note: Issue C.C. in one week (B/o) Prv
