compensation of Rs. 2, 50,000/- on the ground that the deceased was earning Rs. 3,000/- per month but the Tribunal taking note of the oral and other evidence came to a conclusion that the monthly income of the deceased would be Rs. 2132/-. Calculating the annual income on that basis and after deducting one-third amount from the same by way of living expenses of the deceased, and applying a multiplier of 17, the compensation was calculated at Rs. 2, 89, 952/-. In addition thereto the Tribunal also found the widow entitled to consortium of Rs. 5,000/-, funeral expenses at Rs 2,000/- and loss of estate of Rs. 2500/-, the total being Rs. 9500/-. The total compensation amount thus was calculated at Rs. 2, 89,952 + 9500 = 2,99,452/-. After deducting the amount of Rs. 50,000/- paid by the insurance company under Section 140 of the Act therefrom, the balance compensation amount came to Rs. 2, 49,452/-. The Tribunal found the claimants entitled to interest @ 8 % per annum to be calculated from the date of filing of the claim application on 14.09.2007 until its payment. The insurance company was directed to make payment of the said amount within two months of the order. The insurance company being aggrieved have filed this Civil Revision application.
