FAO No.5318 of 2010 1 IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH FAO No.5318 of 2010 Date of decision:10.8.2011 Meena and another ...Appellants Versus Kamaldeep and others ...Respondents CORAM: HON'BLE MR.JUSTICE JITENDRA CHAUHAN Present: Mr.C.M.Chopra, Advocate, for the appellants. Mr.Harish Bhardwaj, Advocate, for respondent No.1. Mr.Arihant Jain, Advocate, for respondent No.2. -.- JITENDRA CHUAHAN, J. (Oral) The only argument of the learned counsel for the appellants is that keeping in view the age and qualification of the victim, the compensation granted by the learned Tribunal is inadequate. I have heard the learned counsel for the parties. From the perusal of the record, it is made out that the deceased was of about 15 years at the time of incident. Both the claimants i.e. parents are young and the loss of a young child in a accident would certainly cause a great shock, pain and agony to the parents. The deceased was a healthy boy but for the unfortunate accident would have lived a normal span of life. It is also made out that the deceased was matriculate and had been selected by the Industrial Training Institute (ITI) for the diploma. FAO No.5318 of 2010 2 Keeping in view the age, qualification and the academic achievement of the deceased, the compensation awarded by the learned Tribunal appears to be inadequate. No compensation has been awarded towards funeral expenses and transportation despite the admitted fact that the alleged accident took place in the vicinity of village Butana, Tehsil Guhana and the deceased was removed to the PGIMS Rohtak. Looking to the facts and circumstances of the case, I deem it fit and appropriate, that the ends of justice would be be met, if an additional amount of `50,000/- as lump sum is granted. The enhanced amount of `50,000/- shall be paid within 45 days from the date of receipt of a copy of this order, failing which, the same shall carry interest @ 6% per annum from the date of filing the present appeal till the payment is paid. In view of above, the present appeal is modified with the modification indicated above. 10.8.2011 (JITENDRA CHAUHAN) mks JUDGE
