Arumugam v. The Divisional Electrical

ORDER The present review application has been filed by the appellants in C.M.A(MD)No.1453 of 2007 seeking to review the order, dated

28.11.2008.

¶2The appellants as claimants have filed W.C.No.336 of 2004 before Deputy Commissioner of Labour, Madurai under Workmen's Compensation Act seeking compensation for the death of their son. The Deputy Commissioner of Labour had fixed the compensation at Rs.2,52,076/- (Rupees Two Lakh Fifty Two Thousand and Seventy Six only), after arriving at a finding that there is an employer-employee relationship between the claimants and the respondents in the claim petition.

¶3Not being satisfied with the quantum of award, the claimants had filed C.M.A(MD)No.1453 of 2007. This Court while considering the appeal on merits, had not only dismissed the appeal, but has also set aside the order passed by the Commissioner of Workmen's Compensation Act thereby, completely dismissed the claim petition. In an appeal filed by the claimants for enhancement of compensation, this Court has erroneously dismissed the claim petition itself. Therefore, there is an error apparent on the face of the record.

¶4Therefore, the Review Application stands allowed. The order dated 28.11.2008 made in C.M.A(MD)No.1453 of 2007 is hereby set side and the same is restored to file.
