ARJUN KONDANKAL Vs. RANDO KONDANKAL

JUDGEMENT

(1.) THIS appeal by the claimants-appellants is directed against the judgment and award dated 7.9.2005 passed by the Motor Accidents Claims Tribunal, Chaibasa in Compensation Case No. 32 of 2008 whereby he has dismissed the claim application on the ground of limitation.

(2.) THE appellants filed an application for compensation on account of death of their brother in a motor accident which occurred on 10.2.1998. THE deceased was aged about 22 years and was working as a daily wage labourer. While coming from his work in the evening, he was dashed by a tractor which was coming at high speed. THE Tribunal framed the following issues for consideration:

(3.) IN the instant case, it has come in evidence that deceased was aged 22 years and was a young man. He died leaving behind his mother and two minor brothers. The mother subsequently died out of shock due to the death of her only earning son. The mother and two minor brothers were dependent on the earnings of the deceased. On these admitted facts and evidence, the Tribunal ought to have entertained the application for the grant of compensation.
