B. RARMLAMMA Vs. STATE OF ANDHRA PRADESH

JUDGEMENT

(1.) This writ petition was disposed of by this Court's order dated Aug. 6, 1990 in the following words:

(2.) We have examined the letter sent by the petitioner which was treated as writ petition. In the said letter she has claimed Rs. 10,000 - as ex-gratia payment and a further sum of Rs. 1,00,000 - to each of the widows has been demanded as compensation. It is, therefore, not correct that the petitioner only claimed Rs. 10,000.00 as indicated by this Court's order quoted above. We are of the view that the compensation of Rs. 5,000.00 awarded to each of the three widows by this Court is wholly inadequate and is not commensurate with the loss and damage suffered by the widows. We therefore, enhance the amount of compensation from Rs. 5,000.00 to Rs. 50,000.00 to each of the three widows. If and when the widows or any other heirs of the deceased files a suit or any other proceedings for compensation under the law this amount granted by us shall not be taken into consideration for assessing the quantum of compensation. The State of Andhra Pradesh is directed . to deposit the additional amount of Rs. 45,000.00 for each of the three widows with the District Judge, Anantpur within one month from today. The learned District Judge shall on his personal satisfaction as to identity, disburse the amount to the three widows and make a compliance report to this Court. The review petition is disposed of accordingly.
