The Managing Director vs Joy Rajam on 8 December, 2016
11. This Court, relying upon the earlier judgment of this Court in
Managing Director, Tamil Nadu State Transport Corporation Ltd. v. Jayalakshmi
reported in 2014 (1) TNMAC 152, determined the monthly income of the driver
at Rs.9,000/- (Rupees Nine Thousand only) and it is stated that it attained
finality as there was no appeal against the said judgment. For the driver,
who died in the accident, which occurred on 26.06.2008, this Court determined
the monthly income as Rs.9,000/- (Rupees Nine Thousand only) per month. Due
to various reasons as stated above and also the increase in inflation and
spending power of people, naturally, the monthly income of the deceased has
to be fixed and therefore, the monthly income of the deceased Selvakani is
fixed at Rs.15,000/- (Rupees Fifteen Thousand only) per month.
