Kannamma vs Deputy General Manager on 27 November, 1990
The
Division Bench of this Court in Hussain Peera's case
has referred to the Full Bench judgments rendered in
Kannamma's case and Uttam Kumar's case and has
dealt with the controversy and has held that when a
claim petition is filed by the injured claiming
compensation towards expenses, loss of income, etc.,
and on such person's death, occurring as a result or
consequence of bodily injuries and if the nexus is
established, the claimants are entitled to claim
14
compensation under the head of loss of dependency.
Relying on the judgments of the Co-ordinate Bench,
he would submit that the Division Bench was also of
the view that the legal representatives even otherwise
could have maintained a claim petition claiming
compensation under the head loss of dependency. On
these set of grounds, learned counsel appearing for
the claimants would submit to this Court that the
claimants are entitled to seek compensation under the
head of loss of dependency.
