FAO No.1322 of 2011 Amrik Singh aged 45 years son of Sh. Amar Singh, resident of village Kami Kalan, P.S. Ghanaur, Distt. Patiala .......Appellant Versus Shashi Bhushan son of Sh. Chaman Lal and another .....Respondents Present: Mr. Ashok K. Sharma, Advocate for the appellant. CORAM: HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE K. KANNAN 1. Whether Reporters of local papers may be allowed to see the judgment? Yes/No 2. To be referred to the Reporters or not? Yes/No 3. Whether the judgment should be reported in the Digest? Yes/No K. KANNAN J. (ORAL) 1. Delays in filing the appeals are condoned. 2. FAO No.1320 of 2011 is with reference to claim for compensation for injury for which the Tribunal assessed the compensation at Rs.25,000/-. This included Rs.5,180/- for the medical expenses that he had incurred for which bills had been produced before the Tribunal. He was said to have been admitted for six days and took treatment. The Tribunal found that there were only medical bills produced and there was no other evidence with reference to the nature of injury or disability suffered by the claimant. In the absence of any such evidence, the Tribunal had awarded Rs.25,000/- as compensation. I do not find any reason to interfere with the same. 3. FAO No.1322 of 2011 is filed by the same claimant seeking for FAO No.1320 of 2011(O&M) -2- compensation for death of his wife. The Tribunal had taken the value of services of a woman at Rs.3,000/- per month, adopted a multiplier of 10 on the basis that she was 50 years of age and added Rs.7,000/- towards funeral expenses and loss of consortium. The overall assessment of compensation at Rs.3,67,000/- is, in my view, appropriate and just and I do not find any reason to interfere with the same. 4. The awards are confirmed and the appeals are dismissed. (K. KANNAN) JUDGE May 19, 2011 Pankaj*
