Deepak Verma and N.K. Jain, JJ.1. For the death of a 40 years old person working in the Telecom Department and who died in a motor accident involving a motor vehicle insured with respondent No. 5 insurance company, the Claims Tribunal below has awarded Rs. 3,70,000 as compensation to the widow, children and mother of the deceased.2. The net salary which the deceased was drawing at the time of his death was Rs. 5,423 per month. After making allowance for 1/3rd of this amount which the deceased must be spending on himself, the dependency was computed at Rs. 3,616 per month or Rs. 43,392 per annum. However, a multiplier of 10 was applied which, having regard to the age of the deceased, was much on the lower side. Having regard to his age and the amount of dependency, the proper multiplier would be 13. Thus, the amount of compensation on this count comes to Rs. 5,64,096. To this, a further sum of Rs. 15,904 need to be added on various other heads. Thus, the proper amount of compensation in...

Court: Madhya Pradesh

Reported in: [2004]138STC154(MP)

ORDERA.M. Sapre, J.1.

So the only question that arises for consideration is, whether reassessment notice issued for the period 1994-95 (April 1, 1994 to March 31, 1995) is legal or not ?.3. It is not in dispute that the assessment for the year in question was completed on June 30, 1998 (annexure P 7) and later after remand by the Appellate court, it was completed on June 27, 2001 (annexure P 14). The reason for reopening of the assessment was also conveyed to petitioner alongwith the impugned notice.
