FAO No.7156 of 2010 1 IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH FAO No.7156 of 2010 Date of decision:06.09.2011 Smt.Prem Lata and others ...Appellants Versus Kejor Ram and others ...Respondents CORAM: HON'BLE MR.JUSTICE JITENDRA CHAUHAN Present: Mr.P.L.Singla, Advocate, for the appellants. Mr.G.S.Sandhu, Advocate, for respondent No.1. Mr.R.C.Gupta, Advocate, for respondent No.2. -.- JITENDRA CHUAHAN, J. The sole argument of the learned counsel for the claimants is that the compensation granted by the learned Tribunal under the heads loss of consortium as well as last rites is inadequate. Heard. From the perusal of case file, it emerges that the accident took place on 30.4.2007 in which Mohan Lal succumbed to his injuries. He left behind his wife and three children. The learned Tribunal awarded a sum of `5,000/- towards funeral expenses and `5,000/- under the head, loss of consortium, which is on lower side as per facts of the case. Looking to the facts and circumstances of the case, I deem it fit to grant an additional amount of `5,000/- under the head, funeral expenses FAO No.7156 of 2010 2 and `10,000/- towards loss of consortium, which would meet the ends of justice. The compensation awarded under the other heads, is just and adequate. The enhanced amount of `15,000/- shall be paid within 45 days from the date of receipt of a copy of this order, failing which, the same shall carry interest @ 7 ½ % per annum from the date of filing the present appeal till it is paid. Although, no other point has been raised by the learned counsel for the appellants, yet this has Court rescanned the entire evidence minutely and finds that the award of the learned Tribunal under the other heads is appropriate and reasonable, therefore, no interference is called for. In view of the above, the present appeal is partly allowed with the modification indicated above. 06.09.2011 (JITENDRA CHAUHAN) mks JUDGE
