Surjit Kaur etc. ..APPELLANTS VERSUS Ishwar Singh Driver etc. ...RESPONDENTS CORAM: HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE JASBIR SINGH PRESENT: Mr. M.S. Dhillon, Advocate, for the appellants. Mr. Inderjit Sharma, Advocate; JASBIR SINGH, J. Order. This appeal has been filed against the award given by the Motor Accidents Claims Tribunal, Karnal, on March 24, 1986, vide which an amount of Rs. 15,000/- was awarded towards compensation, on account of death of Harcharan Singh son of appellant No. 1- Surjit Kaur and husband of appellant No. 2- Smt. Saroj Bala. Factum of accident and death of Harcharan Singh in that accident are not in dispute. It is grievance of the appellants that the compensation awarded is on the lower side. Deceased was of 26 years of age. There is no definite evidence on record as to what was his income. In claim application, it was said that he was earning an amount of Rs.800/- per month. However, in the witness box it was stated that his income was in fact Rs. 1200/- per month. No documentary evidence was brought on record to support above mentioned averment made by the claimants. Surjit Kaur, appellant No. 1, who is mother of the deceased, was an old lady. Keeping in view that fact, an amount of Rs. 15,000/- in lump sum was awarded in her favour. This Court feels that the amount awarded is perfectly justified and needs no interference. Dismissed. January 10, 2007. ( Jasbir Singh ) DKC Judge
