No.2401 of 2008\n                      -------------------------------------\n            Dated this the 17th day of February, 2009\n\n                               JUDGMENT\n<\/pre>\n<p id=\"p_1\">BASANT, J.\n<\/p>\n<p id=\"p_1\">      These 3 appeals are preferred against a common award<\/p>\n<p>passed by the Tribunal disposing of 4 claim petitions.           The<\/p>\n<p>common award was passed as early as on 07.02.04.               Claims<\/p>\n<p>relate to death of 3 deceased persons. Claimants are all legal<\/p>\n<p>heirs\/dependents of the respective deceased persons.<\/p>\n<p id=\"p_2\">      2.  C.M.Applications have been filed to condone the delay<\/p>\n<p>of 1609, 1610 and 1611 days in filing the appeals. It is prayed<\/p>\n<p>that a lenient view may be taken and the long delay indicated<\/p>\n<p>above may be condoned.\n<\/p>\n<p id=\"p_3\">      3.  What is the reason ? The learned counsel for the<\/p>\n<p>appellants submits that the appellants in all the 3 cases had<\/p>\n<p>entrusted the files for preferring appeals to a counsel at Calicut.<\/p>\n<p>That counsel had misplaced the records. Hence no appeals could<\/p>\n<p>be filed. This was realised long later. Thereupon a fresh copy<\/p>\n<p>C.M.Appl.No.2446 of 2008 &amp; M.A.C.A.\n<\/p>\n<p id=\"p_4\">No.2382 of 2008, C.M.Appl.No.2460 of 2008 &amp;<br \/>\nM.A.C.A. No.2399 of 2008 and C.M.Appl.No.2463 of<br \/>\n<span class=\"hidden_text\" id=\"span_1\">2008 &amp; M.A.C.A. No.2401 of 2008                                    2<\/span><\/p>\n<p>application was filed and copy of the award was obtained. One<\/p>\n<p>of the appellants and the counsel concerned have filed affidavits<\/p>\n<p>in all the cases. It is prayed that a lenient view may be taken and<\/p>\n<p>the delay may be condoned.\n<\/p>\n<p id=\"p_5\">      4.    The applications are stoutly opposed by the counsel<\/p>\n<p>for the insurance company.            The counsel contends that<\/p>\n<p>absolutely no reasons exist to justify the condonation of the long,<\/p>\n<p>inordinate and unexplained delay in filing these appeals. The<\/p>\n<p>apology of an excuse offered for not filing the appeals in time,<\/p>\n<p>cannot be accepted at all, submits the learned counsel for the<\/p>\n<p>insurance company. It may be true that the counsel had omitted<\/p>\n<p>to file the appeals. But the conduct of the appellants not making<\/p>\n<p>any enquiries as to what the counsel has done with the papers<\/p>\n<p>entrusted to him must convey eloquently to the Court that there<\/p>\n<p>was no serious intention to prefer an appeal. Long later they<\/p>\n<p>have waken up from their slumber and are trying to justify the<\/p>\n<p>inordinate delay in filing the appeals, contends counsel.<\/p>\n<p id=\"p_6\">      5.    We are prima facie not satisfied at all that the reasons<\/p>\n<p>advanced for condonation of delay are justified or sufficient to<\/p>\n<p>C.M.Appl.No.2446 of 2008 &amp; M.A.C.A.\n<\/p>\n<p id=\"p_7\">No.2382 of 2008, C.M.Appl.No.2460 of 2008 &amp;<br \/>\nM.A.C.A.

No.2401 of 2008                                    3<\/span><\/p>\n<p>show indulgence in favour of the appellants.         However, the<\/p>\n<p>learned counsel for the appellants was requested to explain the<\/p>\n<p>nature of the challenge which the appellants want to raise to<\/p>\n<p>verify whether any failure of justice would result by our not<\/p>\n<p>condoning the delay.\n<\/p>\n<p id=\"p_8\">     6.    The only plank on which the impugned common award<\/p>\n<p>is assailed by the appellants is that the multiplicands taken in the<\/p>\n<p>3 cases are not adequate. In 2 cases monthly earnings of the<\/p>\n<p>deceased was reckoned as Rs.4,800\/- p.m and in the third it was<\/p>\n<p>reckoned as Rs.3,200\/- p.m. Certificates were produced to show<\/p>\n<p>that the deceased persons employed abroad were earning<\/p>\n<p>amounts equivalent to Indian Rs.20,000\/-, Rs.12,000\/- and<\/p>\n<p>Rs.8,000\/- respectively. The Tribunal took note of the fact that<\/p>\n<p>one of the certificates produced cannot be said to be authentic<\/p>\n<p>and accepted implicitly.   Even if the certificates were accepted,<\/p>\n<p>the Tribunal took the view that income earned during               a<\/p>\n<p>temporary phase of employment abroad cannot be reckoned as<\/p>\n<p>the multiplicand when the multiplier is ascertained depending on<\/p>\n<p>the age and the compensation for loss of dependency is worked<\/p>\n<p>C.M.Appl.No.2446 of 2008 &amp; M.A.C.A.\n<\/p>\n<p id=\"p_9\">No.2382 of 2008, C.M.Appl.No.2460 of 2008 &amp;<br \/>\nM.A.C.A.

The Tribunal realistically felt that only an amount of<\/p>\n<p>Rs.4,800\/-, Rs.4,800\/- and Rs.3,200\/- p.m can be reckoned as the<\/p>\n<p>multiplicand applicable to the 3 deceased persons in the facts<\/p>\n<p>and circumstances of these cases. We are not satisfied that any<\/p>\n<p>failure of justice results on account of the course adopted by the<\/p>\n<p>Tribunal or by our not entertaining the applications for<\/p>\n<p>condonation of delay favourably.        The C.M.Applications for<\/p>\n<p>condonation of delay are, in these circumstances dismissed.<\/p>\n<p>Consequently the appeals shall stand rejected as barred by<\/p>\n<p>limitation.\n<\/p>\n<p id=\"p_10\">\n<p id=\"p_11\">                                    (R.BASANT, JUDGE)<\/p>\n<p>                                     (C.T.RAVIKUMAR)<\/p>\n<p>rtr\/-<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Kerala High Court Shareefa vs Smt.Aleena Mathew on 18 February, 2009 IN THE HIGH COURT OF KERALA AT ERNAKULAM MACA.No. 2382 of 2008() 1.
