IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB & HARYANA, CHANDIGARH FAO No. 1186 of 2011 Date of decision May 12, 2011 Labh Singh and another ....... Appellants Versus Avtar Singh and others ........Respondents CORAM: HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE K. KANNAN Present:- Mr. Vineet Chaudhary, dvocate for the appellant. **** 1. Whether reporters of local papers may be allowed to see the judgment ? 2. To be referred to the reporters or not? 3. Whether the judgment should be reported in the digest? K. Kannan, J (oral). 1. The appeal is for enhancement of claim for compensation for death of a boy aged 19 years. The claimants were parents. The Tribunal made reference to the judgments of Hon'ble the Supreme Court in Municipal Corporation of greater Bombay Vs. Laxman Iyer and another 2004 ACJ 53 and Kaushalya Devi Vs. Karan Arora and others AIR 2007 SC 1912 to hold that the compensation of `3,00,000/- could be awarded. Learned counsel states that conventional heads of claim have not been awarded. If the case is to be considered for various heads of assessment of compensation to the parents which will be on the basis of application of multiplier suitable to the age of the parents and the notional income of `15,000/- for a young person who was shown to have no source of income, the assessment at `3,00,000/- seems to be just and proper. Even if the conventional heads of claim were to be added, Schedule-II contemplates only amount of `9500/- under various heads including loss of consortium, loss to estate and funeral expenses. I do not find any reason to interfere. 2. The award is confirmed and the appeal is dismissed. (K. KANNAN) JUDGE May 12, 2011 archana
