United India Insurance Co.Ltd vs Sube Singh And Others on 15 January, 2014

There is no dispute that Mona was 23 years old at the time of her death. The deceased was taken to be a housewife as there is no evidence on record to prove that she had income from any source. It is a settled position that services 18 of 22 ::: Downloaded on - 20-12-2020 00:35:02 ::: FAO No. 8641 of 2014 (O&M) 19 rendered by a housewife are multifarious. She renders invaluable services in her various facets/roles in a home. Learned counsel for the claimants refers to FAO No. 218 of 2014 (United India Insurance versus Sube Singh) to submit that income of deceased Mona should be assessed as Rs.9000/- per month. However, I do not find any ground to assess income of deceased Mona with reference to the said matter. This Court in FAO No.3395 of 2015 has assessed income of a housewife to be Rs.7,000/- per month in respect to an accident which took place in the year 2011. In the present case, the accident had taken place on 11.09.2011. Keeping in view the facts and circumstances of the present case, including the age of the deceased, it is considered just and expedient to assess notional income of the deceased as Rs.7,000/- per month.

The Hon'ble Supreme Court in Montford Brothers of St. Gabriel and another v. United India Insurance and another 2014 (3) SCC 398, rejected the plea that the right of filing a claim should be controlled by the provisions of Fatal Accident Act.

The contention that unless and until there is evidence in support of such pleading that the claimant is not a legal representative, the claim petition cannot be dismissed as not maintainable, was accepted. The Hon'ble Supreme Court held that the term legal representatives included the charitable society registered under the Societies Registration Act, 1960 to be the LR of the deceased therein who had renounced the world and had joined the said society.
