No. 1850 of 2011 Date of decision : August 09 , 2012 Balwant Singh and others ....Appellants Versus Makhan Singh and others ....Respondents CORAM : HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE RAJAN GUPTA Present : Mr.Jatinder Nagpal, Advocate for the appellants. Mr.S.K.Rana, Advocate for respondent No.2. Mr.M.B.Jain, Advocate for respondent No.3 (Insurance Co.) Rajan Gupta, J. (Oral) C.M.No.5621 CII of 2011 This is an application under Section 5 of the Limitation Act for condonation of delay of 120 days in filing the appeal. For the reasons stated in the application, same is allowed as prayed for and delay in filing the appeal is condoned. F.A.O. No. 1850 of 2011 Present appeal has been preferred by the appellants dis-satisfied with the compensation granted by the tribunal. Learned counsel for the Insurance Company submits that adequate compensation has been awarded by the tribunal. FAO No.1850 of 2011 2 I have heard learned counsel for the parties. It appears that accident took place on 14.10.2007 in which one Harwinder Kaur wife of appellant No. 1 died. Claim petition was preferred by the legal heirs before the tribunal. After the tribunal came to the conclusion that offending vehicle was being driven in a rash and negligent manner, it awarded compensation to the tune of Rs.3,67,000/- along with interest at the rate of 8% per annum. It appears that the tribunal, while assessing the compensation, has not granted sufficient amount for loss of consortium and funeral expenses. . In my considered view, the appellants are entitled to another sum of Rs.10,000/- for loss of consortium and Rs.10,000/- for funeral expenses. Appeal is allowed in these terms. Award passed by the tribunal is modified accordingly. ( Rajan Gupta) August 09 , 2012 Judge BB
