passed by this Court on 18/02/2021 qua S.B. Civil Misc. Appeal

No.49/2010 (Shri Nathu Singh & Ors. vs. Babu Singh & Ors).

Learned counsel for the applicant submits that the appellant

Nos.2 to 4 filed the appeal through their uncle Nathu Singh - the

appellant No.1 but while calculating the computation at page

No.15-16, the appellant No.1 Nathu Singh has wrongly been

treated as dependent. It is also submitted that an amount of

Rs.33,000/- should have been awarded in conventional head

instead of Rs.77,000/-. He also prays that in the operative part of

the judgment, the enhanced amount in appeal No.49/2010 is

reflected as Rs.2,33,020/-, whereas it should have been

(3 of 5) [CMAP-40/2021]

Rs.1,39,040. He, therefore, prays that the computation may

kindly be modified accordingly.

The said fact is not disputed by learned counsel appearing on

behalf of the claimants.

In view of the above, the application is allowed. The

corrected recomputation reads as under :-
