T. O. Anthony vs Karvarnan And Others on 1 February, 2008
4. The learned counsel for the Claimants states that the deceased was a
young person and thus addition of 50% was rightly made by the Claims
Tribunal. It is urged that the Claims Tribunal fell into error in making a
deduction of 10% on account of alleged contributory negligence. It is
stated that the deceased Saroj was not driving the two-wheeler. It is
urged that there was no negligence on the part of the two wheeler driver
and even if there was any negligence, it was not a case of a contributory
negligence. Reliance is placed on T.O. Anthony v. Karvarnan & Ors.,
(2008) 3 SCC 748.
