The review has been sought on the ground that an error apparent on the face on record has appeared in the judgment, as the multiplier of 19 applied by the learned Tribunal has been upheld, whereas in terms of judgment passed by the Hon’ble Supreme Court in Sarla Verma vs. Delhi Transport Corporation & another, reported in (2009) 6 SCC 721, the multiplier could not have been more than 18. 1 Whether reporters of Local Papers may be allowed to see the judgment? -2- 3.

In para-16 of the judgment under review, the multiplier of 18 shall be read in place of 19 and accordingly the amount of dependency as calculated in the said para shall be Rs. 14,000 x 12 x 18 = 30,24,000/-. 4. Similarly in para-22 of the judgment, multiplier of 18 shall be read in place of 19 and the compensation of attendant charges shall be Rs. 6000 x 12 x 18 = 12,96,000/- and the future medical expenses shall be computed as Rs. 4000 x 12 x 18 = Rs. 8,64,000/-. 5.
