ORDER : This is an appeal under the Workmen’s Compensation Act. 2. The following substantial question of law arises in this case:- Whether the learned Commissioner took a perverse view in fixing the income of the deceased at Rs.3,000/- per month? 3. The claimant claimed that her husband, the deceased, who was employed as a driver of a heavy goods vehicle was getting wages of Rs.5,000/- per month, but led no documentary proof. The employer in his reply stated that the net monthly wages of the deceased were Rs.3,000/-, but he was also being paid Rs.60/- per day for the cost of food and other daily expenses. This court has repeatedly held that this forms part of the wages and therefore, the wages of the deceased would be Rs.4,800/- per month. At the relevant time, the maximum wages which could be taken into consideration were Rs.4,000/- per month and accordingly the compensation has to be calculated. 4. 50% of Rs.4,000/- works out to Rs.2,000/- and the relevant factor is admittedly 169.44 x 2,000 and the compensation works out to Rs.3,38,880/-. Accordingly, the claimant has held entitled to a sum of Rs.3,38,880/- (Rupees three lakh thirty eight thousand eight hundred eighty) along with interest @ 12% per annum from the date of the accident till payment of the entire amount. 5. The insurance company is directed to deposit the enhanced amount of compensation in the Registry of this Court within 3(three) months from today. 6. The appeal is disposed of.
