The deceased negligently turned the vehicle to the right side without noticing the vehicle coming beind him. He was not wearing helmet. Not injured his vehicle, recklessly he turned his vehicle bearing Registration No.TN-67-AC-1071 to the right side without giving signal/indicator. Therefore, for contributory negligence, 1/3 rd of the award has to be deducted. The deceased was a Government Employee and his age and salary are borne by records and therefore, no dispute over it. The vehicle he was driving not injured, but that will not disentitle him from claiming compensation from the insurer of the offending vehicle. The dependency of the claimants as wife, children and father also proved through the LR certificate-Ex.P. 4 and Aadhar cards-Ex.P.12 to Ex.P.15. 9.Insofar as the alleged negligence, the FIR in Cr.No.153 of 2021 attributes the rash and negligent driving of the two wheeler rider as the cause for death of R.Suresh Kumar. P.W2's evidence clearly shows that the vehicle was hit by the vehicle coming behind him rash and negligent manner. To prove anything contrary not evidence placed. 10.Hence, the award of the Tribunal both in quantum as well as the negligence needs no interference. Accordingly, this Civil Miscellaneous Appeal stands dismissed. No costs. Consequently, connected miscellaneous petition is also closed. 11.
