In the High Court of Punjab and Haryana at Chandigarh F.A.O. No. 4490 of 2008 (O&M) Date of decision: August 26, 2009 Kamla Devi and others .. Appellants Vs. Satyawan and others .. Respondents Coram: Hon'ble Mr. Justice A.N. Jindal Present: Mr. Chander Shekhar Sharma, Advocate for the appellants. Mr. Inderjit Sharma, Advocate for the Insurance Company. A.N. Jindal, J CM No. 24043-CII of 2008 For the reasons mentioned in the application, delay in filing the appeal is condoned. Civil Misc. application is allowed. FAO No.4490 of 2008. This appeal for enhancement is directed against the award dated 12.1.2008 passed by the Motor Accident Claims Tribunal, Karnal, awarding compensation to the tune of Rs.4,47,000/- along with interest @ 7.5% per annum. Besides, the deceased Suraj Bhan was an agriculturist, he was running a dairy and was also motor mechanic. Under these circumstances, the income of the deceased appears to have been assessed on the lower side. However, learned counsel for the appellants has offered to settle the claim petition on payment of Rs.50,000/- over and above the award amount, to which the learned counsel for the Insurance Company has agreed. As such, on consensus of the parties, this appeal is partly allowed. Now the claimants would be entitled to receive a sum of Rs.50,000/- over and above the award amount, which shall be paid by the company within 45 days from the date of receipt of copy of the order, failing which the claimants would be entitled to receive interest at the same rate as awarded by the Tribunal on the enhanced amount.
