It held that the amended provisions of the Act, including the increased deemed monthly wage, applied retrospectively to pending cases. The court upheld that the Insurance Company's defense was limited by Section 149(2) of the Motor Vehicles Act, preventing challenges to the compensation amount. The appellant's argument against retrospective application of the amendment was rejected, and costs were awarded to the respondent with instructions for payment to the claimant through the Workmen's Compensation Commissioner. en-us Tue, 15 Dec 1998 00:00:00 +0530 Thu, 24 Jun 2021 09:41:57 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=295903 The court dismissed the appeal and affirmed the Tribunal's decision to award Rs. 2,54,148/- with 12% interest to the claimant under the Workmen's Compensation Act.
