46. The Apex Court, in the case reported in 2013 ACJ 5800
(Sanobanu Nazirbhai Mirza Vs. Ahmedbad Municipal Transport
Service) and also in the recent judgment reported in AIR 2014
SUPREME COURT 706 (Puttamma Vs. Narayana Reddy) awarded
Rs.1,00,000/- as compensation to the family members (children and
family members other than wife) for loss of love and affection,
deprivation of protection, social security etc., and Rs.50,000/- as
compensation to the widow of the deceased for loss of love and
affection, pains and sufferings, loss of consortium, deprivation of
protection, social security etc., and Rs.10,000/- towards cost incurred on
account of funeral and ritual expenses. In this case also, since the
deceased has left behind wife and hence, I deem it proper to award
Rs.1,00,000/- as compensation to the family members (children and
family members other than wife) for loss of love and affection,
deprivation of protection, social security etc., and Rs.50,000/- as
compensation to the widows of the deceased for loss of love and
affection, pains and sufferings, loss of consortium, deprivation of
protection, social security etc., and Rs.10,000/- towards cost incurred on
account of funeral and ritual expenses and medical expenses.
