                             PRESENT

            HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE H.R. PANWAR

Mr. Ravi Bhansali, for the applicant-appellants.
Mr. L.D. Khatri, for the non-applicant/respondents.

BY THE COURT:

By an application being IA 141/2006 under Order 1

Rule 10 CPC, the applicant-appellants seek to inplead the New

India Assurance Company Limited as a party-respondent.

Having heard the learned counsel for the parties, the

application under Order 1 Rule 10 CPC is allowed and the New

India Assurance Company is impleaded as a party respondent.

Amended cause title has already been filed, which may be placed

at the appropriate place in the file.

Mr. L.D. Khatri, appears for the newly added
2

respondent the New India Assurance Company Limited, the

service is, therefore, complete.

By the instant application under Section 152 read

with Section 151 CPC, the applicant-appellants submits that

there is an arithmetical error regarding computation of the

amount of compensation in the judgment dated 8-4-2003

passed by this Court in S.B. Civil Misc. Appeal No.96/1996.

Learned counsel for the applicant-appellants submits that while

passing the judgment dated 8-4-2003, this Court came to the

conclusion that the annual contribution of the deceased towards

his dependents was Rs.12,000/- per annum and applied the

multiplier of 18 years purchase factor and the amount of total

dependency comes to Rs.2,16,000/- , whereas the amount of

RS.1,80,000/- has been awarded as compensation as against 18

years dependency and adding to that amount the loss of love

and affection to applicant-appellant No.2 to 7 @ Rs.5000/- each,

which comes to Rs.30,000/-, the total amount of compensation

comes to Rs.2,46,000/- and further adding thereto the loss of

consortium of Rs.15,000/- to applicant-appellant No.1 Smt.

Salama, the total amount of compensation comes to

Rs.2,61,000/-, whereas the total compensation of Rs.2,25,000/-

has been awarded by this Court.

On careful perusal of the judgment dated 8-4-2003,

which is under review, it appears that there is arithmetical
3

mistake so far as awarded the compensation towards loss of

dependency of the applicant-appellants for 18 years, i.e. Rs.

12,000 x 18 = 2,16,000/-.

In this view of the matter, the review application

deserves to be allowed and in the judgment dated 8-4-2003

passed by this Court in S.B. Civil Miscellaneous Appeal

No.96/1996, in place of total compensation towards lthe

dependency @ Rs.12,000/- per annum for 18 years deserves to

be substituted by Rs. 2,16,000/- in place of Rs.1,80,000/- and

in place of total compensation, the amount of Rs.2,61,000/- in

place of Rs.2,25,000/- deserves to be substituted.

With these modification, the review petition stands

disposed of.

(H.R. PANWAR), J.
