Delhi Transport Corporation and ors. Vs. Kamlesh Arora and ors.

Court: Delhi

Decided on: Feb-16-1989

Reported in: II(1989)ACC15

S.B. Wad, J.1. This is an appeal filed by the D.T.C. claiming that the compensation of Rs. 1,00,000/- awarded by the Tribunal is incorrect. There is a cross appeal also claiming the enhancement of compensation. In the claim petition the claimants had claimed a sum of Rs. 9,97,844/- as compensation. The facts of the accident and the liability of the offending vehicle are not disputed. The question now is only of the quantum of compensation. The accident took place on 20-9-1971. The deceased was 35 years old at that time and was earning Rs. 1158/- as an employee of Siemens India. The Tribunal held that the family dependency was to the extent of Rs. 800/- and applying the multiplier of 15 the Tribunal came to the conclusion that the claimants were entitled to a sum of Rs. 1,44,000/-. The Tribunal thereafter made deductions to the extent of Rs.44,000/- due to uncertainties and payments of lump sum. The counsel for the appellants could not convince me as to why the compensation should not b...

S.B. Wad, J.1. This appeal is filed by the owner of the offending vehicle No. DLP-4997 which caused the accident on 13-7-1977 resulting into the death of Shri K.B. Subramanian. Relying on the evidence of the eye-witnesses PW-2, Lalit Mohan and PW-7 Gopi Chand and further looking into the evidence of the Investigating Officer, who prepared the site plan and also seeing the photographs, the Tribunal came to the conclusion that the vehicle in question was being driven rashly and negligently. I have also been taken through the evidence and I do not find that the finding of fact of the Tribunal is in any way unreasonable or perverse. The appreciation of evidence is quite correct. The finding is, thereforee, confirmed.2. The next question is of quantum. The deceased was a Divisional Engineer in Microwave Survey, under the Tele Communication Project, Northern Zone, New Delhi.
