A.N.JINDAL, J.- CM No.23233-CII of 2008 is allowed and the delay of 141 days in filing the appeal is condoned. The claimant – appellant (herein referred as the claimant) has prayed for enhancement of compensation by filing the instant appeal, challenging the award dated 4.12.2007 passed by Motor Accident Claims Tribunal, Moga, awarding a sum of Rs.50,000/- to her on account of `no fault liability'. Heard. Having heard the counsel for the parties and examined the impugned judgment, it transpires that the claimant, who is mother of the FAO No.4198 of 2008(O&M) [ 2 ] deceased, herself had made the statement before the police that respondent No.1 Sukhraj Singh (driver of the offending bus) was not at fault and the accident occurred suddenly when her son went on the road, while playing in the street. After making the above statement before the police on 25.10.2004, she did not raise any protest against anybody till she appeared before the Tribunal as a witness. Gurnam Singh (PW2) also admitted that the accident did not take place for the fault on the part of respondent No.1. Even otherwise, the Tribunal on the basis of the evidence led on record, reached the conclusion that the accident took place for the fault on the part of the child. In any case, the Tribunal has granted compensation of Rs.50,000/- under Section 140 of the Motor Vehicles Act under `no fault liability'. No grounds to interfere with the impugned award. Appeal dismissed. August 18, 2009 ( A.N.JINDAL ) `gian' JUDGE
