3.Learned counsel appearing for the appellant would submit that appellants are the wife and daughters of the deceased Murugan respectively and the deceased was working as a Conductor under the first respondent Opposite Party No.1 in the Ashok Leyland School Bus bearing Reg. No.TN-57-C-9459. While so, on 05.02.2010 at about 18.15 hrs. at Bharathi Higher Secondary School, Reddipatti, when the deceased was on duty in the process of cleaning the bus as a Conductor on the above said vehicle, died on the spot due to massive heart attack since there was a heavy workload offered to him. Learned counsel appearing for the appellant further submitted that the when the Central Government has already issued an order in S.O.1258(E) dated 31.05.2010 fixing the minimum wages at Rs.8,000/- on par with he employees of the Central Government with effect from 18.01.2010, the learned Deputy Commissioner of Labour, Connoor has miserably failed to take into account the said order issued by the Central Government and fixed the monthly income of the deceased at Rs.4,000/-. Therefore, the quantum of compensation has been substantially reduced and as a result the appellants/wife and daughters have been put to grave prejudice. Hence, the said grave error should be rectified. Learned counsel appearing for the appellant further submitted that this Court by order dated 29.08.2019 passed by this Court in C.M.A. No.1580 of 2015, following the said Circular, accepting the minimum wages at Rs.8,000/-, has fixed the monthly income at Rs.8,000/- to be payable to the claimant. Learned counsel for the appellant further submitted that though the learned Deputy Commissioner was inclined to award a sum of Rs.5,000/- towards funeral expenses, the same has not been calculated while arriving at the compensation. Therefore, learned counsel for the appellant prays for allowing the appeal following the said order.
