3. According to the case of the petitioners, on 11.12.2002 when the deceased boys along with others were going in an auto bearing No.AP 24 U 8153 to their villages from Hill Colony, on the way when it reached near crusher machine company, a Tata Sumo bearing No.AP 27 U 7232 came in a rash and negligent manner and dashed against the auto, as a result of which, they died. The claimants in O.P.No.190 of 2003 claimed that the deceased boy was aged 11 years and the claimants in O.P.No.191 of 2003 claimed that the deceased boy was aged 10 years and both of them are students. The claims were originally filed for a compensation of Rs.1,00,000/- each, but later it was enhanced to Rs.2,00,000/- each. The Insurance Company i.e., appellant herein, contended that the nature of the incident is true and the dependency is not correct and the relationship is also disputed, the quantum of compensation is excessive and untenable. After considering the evidence on record, the lower Tribunal has accepted the nature of the incident and found that the claimants will be entitled to a sum of Rs.2,25,000/- in each petition as compensation and accordingly granted the same. Aggrieved by the same, the present appeals are filed.
