JUSTICE YARENJUNGLA LONGKUMER ORDER 23.09.2026 1. This instant appeal has been preferred against the judgment and award dated 22.06.2023 passed by the Additional Member No. 2, MAC Tribunal, Tinsukia in MAC Case No. 40/2012. 2. Heard Mr. A. Acharya, the learned counsel for the appellant. Also heard Mr. M. More, the learned counsel for respondent Nos. 1, 2 and 3. 3. The instant appeal has been preferred by the New India Assurance Company mainly on the ground that the learned Tribunal had wrongly awarded the monthly income of the deceased as Rs. 20,000/- per month without any income tax return or without any documents to prove the income of the deceased and there is also no finding as to how the Tribunal has calculated the income of the deceased to be Rs. 20,000/- per month. 4. Appeal is admitted. 5. Call for the records from the learned MAC Tribunal, Tinsukia. 6. Since all the respondents are represented, no formal notice is called for. Page No.# 5/5 7.
