In Brief
Bharti Axa General Insurance challenged the amount of compensation awarded by a Tribunal to the respondent, a younger brother of the deceased, arguing that his independent income disqualified him as a dependent. The Supreme Court held that the Tribunal's factual finding of dependence was binding and based on the specific circumstances of the case. The Court distinguished the cited precedent and found that the appeal sought to interfere with a factual determination that was lawfully made. The appeal was dismissed as misconceived.
