JUDGMENT
1. - The appeals Nos. 1138 of 2004 and 1139 of 2004 have been filed by the Rajasthan State Road Transport Corporation (in short RSRTC) against the common award dated 18.5.2004 of the Judge, Motor Accident Claims Tribunal Dausa (in short MACT) in Claim cases Nos.103/2001 and 104/2001, whereby the claim petitions of the claimants were allowed and they have been awarded Rs. 1,79,800 and 4,31,896/- respectively and the claimants have filed appeal Nos.1621 of 2004 and 3043 of 2007 for enhancement of the compensation amount. Since all the four appeals arise from the common award dated 18.5.2005, it is appropriate for this court to decide these appeals by this common order.
2. The facts have been set out in the impugned judgment and hence I am not repeating the same here except wherever necessary.
