The compensation awarded in a motor accident case should be adequate to provide for the loss of income and the suffering caused to the family of the deceased.

1. - For the reason mentioned in the application under section 5 of Limitation Act, the same is allowed and the delay in filing appeal no. 2896/2016 is condonded. Both these appeals have been filed against the impugned judgment and award passed by the Judge, MACT hence they are being heard and decided by this common judgment.

2. Notices were issued to the opposite parties. Reply to the claim petition/s was/were filed and the learned Tribunal framed the issues. After hearing all the parties, the learned Tribunal passed the impugned award.

3. Against the impugned award, the insurance company as well as claimants has/have preferred the present appeals for the relief as prayed for in them.

4. Learned counsel for the insurance company has contended that the learned Tribunal has failed to appreciate each and every aspect of the matter as also the evidence available on record. The award passed by the learned Tribunal is illegal, without jurisdiction and contrary to the facts of the case. Hence impugned award deserves to be set aside.

5. On the other hand, learned counsel for the claimant/s has opposed the submissions advanced on behalf of insurance company and requested for maintaining/enhancement of award.

6. I have heard learned counsel for the parties and perused the impugned judgment and award. I am in agreement with the findings arrived at by the learned Tribunal on issue no. 1 to 3 which read/s as under:
