IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH FAO No.2161 of 2007 Date of Decision: 23.7.2009 Pushpinder Singh ......Appellant(s) Versus Ranjit Singh & ors. ......Respondent(s) CORAM:- HON'BLE MR.JUSTICE RAKESH KUMAR GARG * * * Present: Mr. Abhishek Arora, Advocate for the appellant. Mr. Gopal Mittal, Advocate for respondent No.3-Insurance Company. Rakesh Kumar Garg, J.(Oral) This is claimant's appeal challenging the impugned award passed by the Motor Accident Claims Tribunal, Fatehgarh Sahib, whereby claim application filed by the appellant was dismissed as the claimant failed to prove that the death of Raghu Raj Singh took place in an accident which occurred due to rash and negligent driving of respondent No.1. I have heard learned counsel for the appellant and the learned counsel appearing on behalf of respondent No.3-Insurance Company. After perusing the impugned award, I find that except for the fact that an FIR Ex.P-1 was registered and statement of PW-1 Pushpinder Singh, one of claimants, who was not an eye witness to the accident, no other evidence has been placed on record to establish the factum of accident. Even the person at whose instance the FIR was recorded, has not been examined. Learned counsel appearing on behalf of the appellant was unable to point out any evidence on record in support of his case. In view of the aforesaid, I am not inclined to interfere in the findings of the Tribunal. There being no merit in this appeal, the same stands dismissed. July 23, 2009 (RAKESH KUMAR GARG) ps JUDGE
