FAO No. 1843 of 2008 1 IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH -- FAO No. 1843 of 2008 Date of decision: 03.07.2008 Krishan Kumar .......Appellant Versus Chanderpal and another .......Respondents Coram: HON'BLE MRS. JUSTICE NIRMAL YADAV Present: Dr. Naresh Kaushik, Advocate for the appellant -.- NIRMAL YADAV, J. (Oral) Learned counsel for the appellant argued that no accident was caused by the appellant while driving his Car bearing registration No. HR- 44A/8201 and there is no cogent evidence on record to prove this fact. Learned counsel also argued that the amount of compensation as awarded by learned Tribunal, is on the higher side, as the deceased was of the age of 6-7 years at the time of alleged accident. The argument raised by learned counsel does not have any force. As per the evidence on record, the accident took place with the offending vehicle and the appellant managed to run away from the place of accident. However, registration number of the Car was noted and immediately, thereafter, first information report was lodged. Even the compensation awarded by learned Tribunal is just and reasonable. The deceased was 6-7 years old and he would have certainly looked after and FAO No. 1843 of 2008 2 taken care of his parents in future and therefore, the notional income can be fixed in such a case. No ground for interference with the impugned Award is made out. Dismissed. [NIRMAL YADAV] JUDGE July 03, 2008 mohan
