FAO No. 6312 of 2010 1 IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB & HARYANA, CHANDIGARH FAO No. 6312 of 2010 Date of decision March 22, 2011 Pushpa Rani and another ....... Appellants Versus Romel Singh and others ........Respondents CORAM: HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE K. KANNAN Present:- Mr. B. S. Walia, Advocate for the appellants. **** 1. Whether reporters of local papers may be allowed to see the judgment ? No 2. To be referred to the reporters or not? No 3. Whether the judgment should be reported in the digest?No K. Kannan, J (oral). 1. The appeal is for enhancement of claim for compensation for death of a boy aged 18 years. The claimants were the mother and younger brother. The Tribunal, while awarding compensation took the loss of dependency at `3,60,000/- and for a two week long hospitalization and surgery that ultimately could not save the boy the Tribunal had awarded `2,12,400/- for medical expenses and also `6,000/- for last rites. The total compensation was `5,78,400/-. 2. Learned counsel states that medical expenses had not been properly provided for. He also contends that funeral expenses are less than what should have been granted. I cannot FAO No. 6312 of 2010 2 accommodate a plea that more amount must have been awarded for medical expenses which were not covered through any bills or vouchers. The same way a higher claim for funeral expenses cannot be urged as a ground for enhancement. The Tribunal had provided what was in one sense conventional method of awarding compensation. I find no scope for enhancement. The award is confirmed and the appeal is dismissed. (K. KANNAN) JUDGE March 22, 2011 archana
