Estate Vs. Chandra [2008] INSC 1466 (29 August 2008)
Judgment
CIVIL APPELLATE
JURISDICTION CIVIL APPEAL NO. 2272 OF 2002 Manager, Moongalar Estate
....Appellant VERSUS Chandra ....Respondent
ORDER
1.
Heard
learned counsel for the appellant
2.
No
one appeared on behalf of the respondent although the respondent was duly
served.
3.
This
appeal arises out of a judgment of the High Court of Kerala at Ernakulam, by
which, the appeal of the respondent was allowed and a sum of Rs.50,000/- was awarded
to the widow of the deceased employee of the present appellant.
Considering the facts
and circumstances of the present case and the impugned judgment of the High Court,
we are not inclined to interfere with the said Judgment of the High Court in the
exercise of 1 our discretionary powers under Article 136 of the Constitution
of India.
4.
Accordingly,
the Civil Appeal is dismissed with no order as to costs. Interim order, if any,
shall stand vacated.
5.
However,
we make it clear that the question of law involved in this appeal is kept open
to be decided in appropriate case and dismissal of this appeal will not be
treated as precedent in other similar cases.
