Purushothaman M.K. v. Bekker
Case brief
What is this about?
The single judge reviewed an order allocating enhanced compensation among claimants, specifically regarding a share awarded to a deceased mother. The court held that since the second appellant (mother) had died pending the appeal, no amount need be awarded to her, and directed that the entire enhanced compensation be disbursed to the surviving claimants instead.
What did the court decide?
The entire enhanced compensation was directed to be disbursed to the surviving claimants, with no amount payable to the deceased second appellant.
