FAO No.550 of 1994 -1- IN THE HIGH COURT FOR THE STATES OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH FAO No.550 of 1994 Date of Decision. 06.08.2010 United India Insurance Company, Bhasin Building, Roshanara Road, Delhi through Vijay Sharma, Asstt. Divisional Manager, Gurgaon Divisional Office, Gurgaon. ......Appellant Versus Sumitri Devi widow of Mehta Singh and others ......Respondents Present: Mr. Vinod Gupta, Advocate for the appellant. None for the respondents. CORAM:HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE K. KANNAN 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 insurance company is in appeal challenging the award passed by the Tribunal on the ground that although the claimants had not given any evidence, the Tribunal found that the claimants had not proved the aspect of negligence and fixed the compensation on no fault liability under Section 140 of the Motor Vehicles Act to an extent of Rs.25,000/-. The death, as resulting from the the motor accident itself, is not in challenge but the claimants suffered by inadequate compensation by their own lapse. The Court actually determined the amount payable to Rs.2,49,600/- but still in the absence of evidence, it adopted a course of fastening the liability on the insurance company to the tune of Rs.25,000/- only. There is not FAO No.550 of 1994 -2- even a claim for enhancement at the instance of the claimants. The amount that is awarded for death of a bread-winner to the members of a family of a young widow and children to Rs.25,000/- is too modest to upset at the instance of an appeal by the insurance company. 2. I confirm the award and dismiss the appeal. (K.KANNAN) JUDGE August 06, 2010 Pankaj*
