FAO No. 6852 of 2010 1 IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB & HARYANA, CHANDIGARH FAO No. 6852 of 2010 Date of decision May 18, 2011 Ram Kumar and another ....... Appellants Versus Gajender Singh and others ........Respondents CORAM: HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE K. KANNAN Present:- Mr. J. S. Saneta, Advocate for the appellant. **** 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 appeal is for enhancement for death of a male aged 28 years and the claimants were parents. The Tribunal while assessing the compensation provided for a 50% cut and applied a multiplier of 12 suitable to the age of the parents. Learned counsel states that even the assessment of compensation at `2,72,000/- is grossly low for death of a child even higher compensation is awarded. So long as the assessment of compensation follows, the principles enunciated through judgments expanding the law on the subject, inadequacy cannot be assumed by a comparison with assessment in some cases for death for a child. The compensation assessed conforms the law of of determination of compensation through decision in Shakti Devi Vs. New India Insurance FAO No. 6852 of 2010 2 Company JT (2010) 13 SC 103. 2. I do not find any reason for making modification. The award is confirmed and the appeal is dismissed. (K. KANNAN) JUDGE May 18, 2011 archana
