JASWANT SINGH,J.(Oral). Present appeal has been filed by the appellants-claimants, against the award dated 12.12.2008 passed by the learned Motor Accidents Claimants Tribunal, Sonipat (hereinafter referred to as the Tribunal) dismissing their claim petition under Section 163-A of the Motor Vehicles Act,1988 ( for short the Act) seeking compensation to the tune of Rs.5 lacs on account of death of Smt.Bimla (wife of appellant no.1 and mother of appellants 2 and 3) in a motor vehicular accident that allegedly took place on 16.10.2005. Heard learned counsel for the appellants and perused the impugned award. In the present case, the deceased Bimla was cremated without being taken to hospital and as such no medico legal report or post mortem report was obtained with regard to the injuries, or nature thereof, sustained by her in the alleged motor vehicular accident. Moreover, no FIR or even DDR FAO NO.1088/2009 -2- was got registered in regard to the accident in question, which could have been relied upon by them as a proof of deceased suffering the fatal injuries in that accident. In view of the fact that there is no evidence at all to prove that the deceased suffered fatal injuries in the accident, as alleged in the claim petition, no fault can be found with the impugned award passed by the learned Tribunal. Learned counsel for the appellant has not been able to point out anything so as to persuade this Court to differ with the findings recorded by the learned Tribunal. For the reasons stated above,finding no merit in this appeal the same is hereby dismissed in limine. 24.3.2009. (Jaswant Singh) joshi Judge
