JUDGEMENT
K.S. Rathore, J. -
(1.) The appellants have
challenged the impugned judgment dated
9.10.2001 passed by the M.A.C.T., Deeg,
Bharatpur only to the extent whereby the
Tribunal has computed the award after deducting
one-third income of the deceased
on account of his personal expenses.
(2.) Learned counsel for the appellants
placed reliance on the judgment rendered
in the case of Kamlesh v. Rajasthan State
Road Trans. Corpn., 2006 ACJ 992 (Rajasthan),
wherein this court has held that
such deduction is not admissible on taking
notional income of deceased under Second Schedule of the Act.
(3.) In view of the ratio decided by this
court, I deem it proper to direct M.A.C.T.,
Deeg, Bharatpur, to compute the award
without deducting one-third income of the
deceased on account of his personal expenses.
After fresh computation of award, the
difference of amount shall be deposited by
the insurance company before M.A.C.T.,
Sawai Madhopur and the M.A.C.T., Sawai
Madhopur is directed to deposit the said
amount in monthly income scheme (Post
Office) for the period of six years as per
the rest of terms and conditions of the
award. The appellants are only entitled to
receive interest thereon.
With the above modification in the
award, the miscellaneous appeal stands
partly allowed.
Appeal partly allowed.;
