Dear Respected all, I already asked a query on this point but some experts seeked some more information regarding Award. In my query aplicants husband was a head of the department of physics in a degree college. when deceased met an unfortunate accident,was earning 43000 rs/month as salery.After three months deceased had to be retire from the job & was going to be appointed as a direcror of a private engg. college at the salery of 60,000 rs/Month.All facts are on record before the tribunal.Widow of deceased is getting 22000 rs per month pension of his husband till the age of deceased would be 65 years in papers.there after she would get family pension. Now my query is that would pension got by widow be deducted from award calculated by tribunal or not? Please quote any apex court's judgment regarding this type of issue.Thanks to all learned experts.

To favour the claimant, i have recently/yesterday posted full bech decisions of MP and PH High Courts. there may be many judgments against you also.The issue is a debatable one and judicial pronouncements will remain confusing and changing unless the parliament brings a clear legislation in this regard.

in a motor accident case the claimant gets award for third party risk which has no connection with the income of the legal reprsentatives of the deceased. even if one is not the dependent there is no legal bar of getting award.only a small fraction may be deducted.
