IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE FOR RAJASTHAN AT JAIPUR BENCH, JAIPUR.

J U D G M E N T S.B.Civil Misc. Appeal No.2542/2011 RSRTC vs Lalita Sain and ors DATE OF JUDGMENT : 31/1/2017 HON’BLE MR. JUSTICE MAHESH CHANDRA SHARMA Mr.G.S. Rathore, for RSRTC Mr.RS Rathore for the respondent/s The instant appeal has been filed against the impugned judgment and award passed by the Judge, MACT.

Brief facts of the case are that with regard to the accident, a claim petition was filed on behalf of the claimant/s claiming compensation as mentioned wherein.

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

Against the impugned award, the RSRTC has preferred the instant appeal for the relief as prayed for in it.

Learned counsel for the RSRTC 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.

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

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 and 3 which read as under:
