IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH C.M.No.24962-CII of 2009 in/and FAO No.3296 of 2009(O&M) Date of Decision 11.11.2009 Ram Pehlad Rai ...... Appellant VERSUS Mohammad Ibrahim and others ...... Respondents CORAM:- HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE A.N.JINDAL Present: Mr.Amit Jain, Advocate, for the appellant. ***** A.N.JINDAL, J(ORAL): C.M.No.24962-CII of 2009 On the grounds, mentioned in the application, appeal is restored to its original number. FAO No.3296 of 2009 The appellant-claimant (herein referred as 'the claimant') has preferred this appeal against the award dated 11.12.2008, passed by Motor Accident Claims Tribunal, Hisar, (herein referred as 'the Tribunal') dismissing the claim petition filed by him on account of the death of his son Subhash aged 22 years allegedly in a motor vehicular accident dated 23.01.2006. Arguments heard. No evidence except F.I.R. Ex.P5 to prove the accident has been placed on record which was lodged on 24.01.2006. The first information is also not based on the direct evidence of the person who had seen the accident but it is based on hearsay. None of the witnesses has been examined who had scene of accident. Simply because the F.I.R. was lodged by the claimant on hearsay basis by the petitioner, it is hardly sufficient to prove the rash and negligent act of respondent No.1. Hence, the claimant is not entitled to any compensation. No grounds to interfere. Dismissed. (A.N.Jindal) Judge 11.11.2009 mamta-II
