D.K.KAPUR, N.N.GOSWAMY
ISH KUMAR – Appellant
Versus
BHAGWANTI DEVI – Respondent
( 1 ) THE present Letters Patent Appeal is directed against the Judgment of Anand, J. , in F. A O. No. 103 of 1971. The relevant facts of the case are that one P. C. Sharma had died because of injuries received in an accident which took place on 3. 3. 1965.

Rs. 12,000. 00 was disallowed from the claim on account of certain benefits stated to have been received by the legal representatives which were (1) Rs. 2,400. 00 for gratuity, (2) Rs. 3,600. 00 for pension, (3) Rs. 3. 000. 00 for provident fund and (4) Rs. 3,000. 00 for insurance.
