2. Briefly stated the facts are as follows: on 10-2-1985 an accident took place wherein one Avinash Mukhi aged about 30 years was killed. The appellants i.e. the wife and minor child of the deceased filed a claim before the Motor Accidents Claims Tribunal. Pending the matter before the Motor Accidents Claims Tribunal, the first appellant remarried. The Motor Accidents Claims Tribunal awarded a sum of Rs. 1,08,000 to both the appellants negating the contention that on remarriage the first appellant was not entitled to compensation.

3.

On that basis the High Court awarded only Rs. 6000 to the first appellant and the balance was awarded to the minor child.
