Mr. Inderjit Sharma, Advocate for the respondents. ,,, Rakesh Kumar Garg,J(Oral) This is claimants appeal challenging the impugned award on the ground of inadequacy of the compensation. The claimants in this case are the parents . The deceased was the son of the claimant/appellants and was 22 years of age at the time of accident. Though the appellants have claimed that the deceased Kuldip Singh was earning a sum of Rs. 7000/- P.M., yet the Tribunal has granted a lump sum amount of Rs. 1,50,000/- on account of his death as compensation, keeping in view the fact that the income of the deceased was not specific being student. I have heard learned counsel for the parties and perused the impugned award. Keeping in view the totality of the circumstances and the evidence on record and the fact that no rebuttal evidence has been placed on the record by the respondents that deceased was doing some kind of dairy work and was a young man of 22 years and able bodied person. I deem it appropriate to enhance a sum of Rs. 50000/- as compensation over and above the compensation granted by the Tribunal. The claimants shall also be entitled to interest on the enhanced compensation at the rate of 9 % per annum from the FAO No. 3728 of 2005 2 date of institution of claim petition till the date of payment. In view of the above, this appeal is allowed to the aforesaid extent. December 8, 2009 (RAKESH KUMAR GARG) nk JUDGE
